Elton John – Friends Soundtrack LP Pickwick SPC 3598 Sealed 1978 Bernie Taupin

A unique and often overlooked release from Elton John, Friends (Soundtrack) showcases a different side of his artistry — blending pop, orchestral arrangements, and cinematic composition into a rich, emotionally driven listening experience. Originally composed for the 1971 film and later issued as this 1978 Pickwick reissue, this album stands apart from his mainstream hits and offers something special for collectors looking to go deeper into Elton John’s catalog.

This copy is a clean, well-preserved example, with the vinyl graded Mint (M) for pristine playback and virtually no signs of wear, and the sleeve graded Excellent (EX) showing only light, age-appropriate handling. The inlay is Mint (M), and the record retains its original cover presentation. Pressed by Pickwick (SPC-3598) on a 12" LP at 33 RPM in stereo, this is a strong collector copy with both visual and listening appeal.
