Editorial Reviews

Regimental Sgt. Zippo is the legendary "album that never was" for Elton John. Signed to DJM as an artist in early 1968, he cut 12 tracks at DJM Studios in London's New Oxford Street for a debut album that was never released. As part of the excavation of material for Elton's Jewel Box collection, the original running order was located. After the success of its limited release in mono for Record Store Day 2021, it is now available on CD and contains both stereo and mono mixes.

SIMPLE FUN SONGS TO ENJOY

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 31, 2022

Verified Purchase

I could give 5 stars but it is a little weak. I am very happy with this CD album. It was a surprise that I did not know was out and I ordered it right away. Sure I can see why the record company did not think it was good enough to release in 1968. It is a bit dated but then so are so many of the other summer of love type songs. Yes some will see the SGT Pepper rip off to some degree but the songs are enjoyable and they sound well recorded and mastered. Stereo is nice and if you like it there is mono also. I recommend it if you like Elton John early years.

Romantic Pop Psych

Quite an enjoyable album of this then innovative new pop sound of the late 60s. Elton's signature sound is present but with Toytown Pop, Baroque Pop, Soul Pop and English Music Hall throughout the album. A great record collector's item to have.

Elton John - Regimental Sgt. Zippo.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 6, 2022

Verified Purchase

Just Received in the mail & added to my Collection of Vinyl making it to 3,147 pieces in my Inventory. Yeah, Record Store day had it in MONO. Forget about That! This recording from 1967/68, Needs to be Heard in STEREO! Elton John's "Regimental Sgt. Zippo" a tip of the Hat to The Beatles "Sgt. Pepper! Elton was only 19 years old a young lad & a very talented teen. Get it while you can. It will make you happy. Peace & 💖 Oh, Lp is heavy 180 gram & Imported from Germany. It's on the DJM Label. In closing, my thoughts of why this recording was shelved for decades varies, as to how close it applies to Sgt. Pepper which was Released in May 1967 & could have been a conflict of interest. Well, Who knows?

This album NEEDs to be in your Elton collection, in a good way

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 22, 2022

So you like Elton John? You must because you came to read my comment and I thank you for that. I must say this in the beginning: this album was a missed opportunity for the label. I really enjoy this latest (debut) album which never came out for some reason. As I write this I’m listening to the STEREO mix of the albums (13-24). Last time I heard a bit of the MONO (1-12) mix. Like I said in my Intro I thank you for reading my review of this great album. If this helped you because you were on the fence about the album. As a side note I was would to for all hard-core Elton recommend “Jewelbox” part of that particular boxset you can hear demos from these early songs.

A lost 60s gem

Every song on this album works. Elton John has downplayed this album in interviews... but it's honestly one of his best. "When I Was Tealby Abbey" is quite the earworm.

Essential early Elton

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 13, 2022

Verified Purchase

If you're a fan of early Elton, this set of late 60s recordings is an essential purchase. Though clearly the work of a developing artist, it is a delightful and often whimsical set of songs, full of memorable moments. While the set is definitely of its time in some respects, I am already finding myself humming some of these tunes after listening a few times, and the depth and melodicism that would lead him to mass popularity a few years later is well in evidence here. As good as these songs are, you have to wonder why it took this long for them to become widely available, but we can be glad that it finally happened.

Elton’s never before released debut.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 9, 2022

Verified Purchase

Originally released as part of RSD 2021, “Zippo” remains an artifact of its time but it is a fascinating one; imagine if Elton John had made a truly psychedelic record. Imagine no more. Held back from release byDJM and Elton, this 1968 album looks backward rather than forward having all the hallmarks of psychedelic music of the time from fuzz guitar to harpsichord.

Elton’s musical sense and his arrangement ability are already in evidence but Bernie Taupin’s lyrics had yet to evolve beyond the more pretentious juvenile rhythms that marked all of his early work with Elton. Here they dominate and are the weakest link of the compositions.

Caleb Quayle, who would appear on Elton’s early albums before Davey Johnston joined Elton’s band, appears and even co-writes one song here.

The CD includes both the mono and stereo mixes of the album.

A nice album to have

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 8, 2022

Verified Purchase

Surprised at this one. You can definitely tell it’s early and that Elton (still going by Reg Dwight at this point) hadn’t quite found his “sound” and took inspiration from the psychedelic sixties sounds around him. I can see why it wasn’t released, it would have been lost in the noise of so many other similar sounding albums at the time. There’s more than a couple of nods to the Beatles in here but it’s still very Elton at the same time. What really surprised me is the polish and level of production here. We’ve got horns, organs, drums galore and a really nice, tight sound.
It’s not a well organised album, with stories being told in no order, “Nina” doesn’t land like it may have done with another band and there’s no real stand out aces (although “Regimental Sgt Zippo” at the end of side one may be the exception to that) but it’s a solid album and I definitely think one worth having.
The pressing is great, nice and clean, flat and unmarked. For £18, I think this is great value.

Very good early album

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 27, 2022

Verified Purchase

This album was from 1968 and re-released on vinyl in 2021 for Record Store Day as well pieces in Elton John's Jewel box set.
However the 12 tracks are in mono and then a stereo mix [typically many albums in that era were released separately in both formats on vinyl].
Was for the music, it is typical for the era - a bit Beatles [of the latter years] sounding. However, Bernie Taupin hadn't matured yet on the lyrics side.
