4CDs+DVD+Book for new super deluxe box (click to enlarge)

Elton John‘s 40th anniversary reissue of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road has been officially announced and is available to pre-order.

As we revealed, the Super Deluxe Edition includes a newly remastered version of the album, a second disc containing covers (as well as some demos and outtakes from the sessions), and a two-disc recording from Elton’s December 1973 performance at the Hammersmith Odeon in London. The fifth and final disc is a DVD containing the 1973 documentary Elton John and Bernie Taupin Say Goodbye To Norma Jean and Other Things. The SDE comes in a presentation box and accompanied by what looks like a really good a 100-page book (see video below).

There will also be a two-CD deluxe, which will just have CD 1 & 2 from the SDE, as well as a 2LP vinyl version (album only) and a Pure Audio Blu-ray audio edition. The hi-res blu-ray is confirmed as having a 5.1 surround mix of the album on it in addition to the remastered stereo mix

Amazon are pursuing a very aggressive pricing policy with the Super Deluxe Edition box set. At the time of writing, it’s available very cheaply: £30 from the UK, $53 Canadian and $66 US.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road 40th Anniversary editions are released on 24 March 2014. Full track listings below.
