Album Description
Available in:
Friends is a project Elton John and Bernie Taupin took on before their breakout success in the US. Recorded as the soundtrack to the film Friends, it was certified gold on its 6 April 1971 release in the US by the RIAA, becoming John's third gold record in as many months in that market (following the albums Elton John in February and Tumbleweed Connection in March). The title track was a minor hit in the US (#34 on the pop chart) despite the film's poor performance.

The rights to the soundtrack are now with Universal Music Group, which shares ownership of John's music with him, and which also owns the Paramount Records catalogue.

The Friends soundtrack is also available on the Rare Masters (1992) 2-CD set, tracks 10-19 on Disc One, albeit with the tracks in a different order to the original LP. The difference is that "Michelle's Song" changes places with "Honey Roll" and "Variations on Friends".

In the early '70s, John performed the title track and "Can I Put You On" in concert, with the latter appearing on the next release, the live recording 17-11-70 (entitled 11-17-70 in North America). The most recent performance of "Friends" was in 1999.
