“A Single Man” album signed on the cover in vintage black ballpoint pen by Elton John, who additionally inscribed the greeting “A Merry Christmas” above his signature. Measuring approximately 12" x 12" and in fine condition. Record is included. Authenticated by Epperson. Released in 1978, “A Single Man” marked Elton John’s first album following the end of his longtime run with producer Gus Dudgeon and represented a notable transitional period in his career. The cover itself has become one of Elton’s more recognizable late-1970s visual images, featuring the artist in Victorian-inspired attire against the dramatic backdrop of Windsor Great Park. Vintage-signed Elton John albums from this classic period remain consistently sought-after, particularly on strong displayable covers such as this example.
