Its place in the early '70s singer-songwriter scene pairs well with artists like John Denver and America, making it a solid pick for focused listening sessions. This 1973 vinyl pressing carries the original energy of that era with a playably worn surface, so expect some background noise typical for a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/blogs\/news\/how-we-grade-vinyl-records-at-the-den\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eVG\u003c\/a\u003e record but no severe defects. The packaging is straightforward, and the record itself invites listeners who appreciate a bit of history in their grooves without the fuss of pristine condition urgency. It's a chance to hear a classic Elton John album in a format that’s as much about the music as the medium—because sometimes, the piano player deserves a little grace from the audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003csection data-track-listing=\"true\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTrack listing \u0026amp; samples\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElton John - Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaniel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeacher I Need You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElderberry Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlues For Baby And Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMidnight Creeper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHave Mercy On The Criminal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Going To Be A Teenage Idol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTexan Love Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrocodile Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Flying Bird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embeds\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2BEa5H4vduo\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/1reJ8DttK5EGwdyf7y9FBR\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Den Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"VG \/ VG+ \/ 1973","offer_id":54028196938044,"sku":"DEN00000252","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/9932\/2684\/files\/OC0xNjI3LmpwZWc.jpg?v=1787854201","url":"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/products\/elton-john-don-t-shoot-me-i-m-only-the-piano-player-lp-082726","provider":"The Den New Hope PA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
