Elton originally wanted to produce theJets", "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" album in Jamaica, but logistics issues surrounding the world championship boxing match between Joe Frazier and George Foreman stymied that. So he settled for returning to Château d'Hérouville in France, where he had produced ''Music/HonkyChateau'' and ''Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player''. Once settled, it took barely more than two weeks to produce.
It wasn't intended to be a double album, but Elton and writing partner Bernie Taupin wrote enough good songs to do so; they wrote 22 songs, and used 18 of them.
The album was a roaring success in the United States, where it topped the Billboard 200 album chart in its fourth week of release, staying there through the Holiday season; it would top the year-end Billboard 200 chart for 1974, and go eight-times Platinum. Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom, it would top the charts and go Platinum there as well.

* ForDoomTheBellTolls: "Funeral for a Friend"
* FreudianExcuse: The titular protagonist of "All the Girls Love Alice" has her teenage rebellion attributed to "a simple case of Mummy Doesn't Love Me Blues."
* GenreRoulette: The album switches from ProgressiveRock ("Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding") to melodic piano ballads (the title track) to minimalistic GlamRock ("Bennie And The Jets") to Stonesy rockers ("Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting") to [[Music/TheBeatles Beatle-esque]] numbers ("Harmony") to soft rock ("Candle In The Wind") to {{Reggae}} ("Jamaica Jerk-Off") to boogie blues-rock ("Dirty Little Girl") to progressive rock ("Funeral For A Friend") to proto-disco-soul ("Grey Seal") to pseudo-doo-wop ("Your Sister Can't Twist [But She Can Rock 'N Roll]") to country ("Roy Rogers"; "Social Disease") to '20's jazz ("Sweet Painted Lady") to cinematic pieces like "The Ballad Of Danny Bailey" and the aptly-named "I've Seen That Movie Too".
* GriefSong: "Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding", "Candle In The Wind".
* {{Homage}}: "Candle in the Wind", written for Creator/MarilynMonroe (whom Elton refers to be her original name: Norma Jean), which would become a RepurposedPopSong in 1997 when Elton wrote it to commemorate the sudden death of Princess Diana. That version effectively became the best-selling single of all time for a while, surpassing even [[Music/MerryChristmas "White Christmas"]] by Music/BingCrosby. Nowadays "White Christmas" is back the best-selling one.
