Elton John - Taking the Sun from My Eyes (1968) video free download

A full-production demo of an early composition by Elton John & Bernie Taupin, recorded at Dick James Studios in 1968. These were the days when Elton and Bernie were primarily employed to write songs for the Dick James organization to record with other artists. This is the period that is famous for Elton (Reg Dwight) being very depressed and disillusioned, wanting to kill himself, and unhappily engaged to a girl he didn't really want to marry. Elton never released this song, but it was recorded by English artist Ayshea and released as the B-side to her "Another Night" single in 1969. I have not been able to locate a copy of this recording.
