Fifty years ago, on May 24, 1975, Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, was released.
In an Instagram post to celebrate the album’s anniversary, Elton shared some information about the history of the record, named after the nicknames for himself and his longtime collaborator, lyricist Bernie Taupin.
The caption accompanied some professionally shot photos of Elton from that era along with the album’s iconic cover and some news clippings, including a shot of the Billboard album chart with Captain Fantastic entering at No. 1.
The album ended up topping the Billboard 200 for seven non-consecutive weeks. It was produced by Elton’s longtime collaborator producer Gus Dudgeon, who said that he used the lyrical concept for a guideline to the actual recording of the album at the Caribou Ranch in Colorado.
Fans, and some music industry insiders, on Instagram shared their love of the album in the comments.
“My absolute fave. The first real album I ever owned. ❤️,” added another.
Chris Difford of Squeeze added, “It lit my lyrical flame ❤️✍️.”
