October 5, 1973 –
The seventh studio album by Elton John, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, (a double LP,) was release on this date.
Elton and his songwriting partner Bernie Taupin went to Jamaica to record the album, but the studio wasn’t up to standard, so the project was abandoned there with only a rough version of Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting) actually being recorded. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and the rest of the album were recorded in France at Strawberry Studios (The Chateau d’Hierouville).
