Elton John - Tower of Babel (1974) With Lyrics!
Track 2 from the 1975 album "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy," recorded in the summer of 1974 at Caribou Ranch in Colorado, USA. Gus Dudgeon, producer. It is an autobiographical album, the songs telling the story of Elton John and Bernie Taupin's struggling years as songwriters, leading to their success in 1970. This song is an angry ballad about the "sharks" of the music industry that Elton and Taupin encountered as young songwriters. With numerous biblical references Taupin attacked the phoniness of publishers and executives.
The album debuted at #1 on the US Pop Albums chart, the first album ever to do so, and stayed there for seven weeks. Unlike Elton's previous albums, which were usually written and recorded rather quickly, "Captain Fantastic" was well-planned and labored over for several months. After receiving the lyrics from Taupin, Elton wrote the music alone on a cruise ship sailing from England to New York. Great attention and detail was given to the recording process over several weeks at Caribou Ranch. The cover art was designed by Alan Aldridge.
