Before we fully detail  this listing some information about Elton John Store.

Since October 1998 we have been  the UK's premier dedicated place for selling premium official Elton John music and memorabilia, both new and vintage items spanning Elton's entire career to 1000's of happy fans across the globe. Check out our 100% positive feedback.

We are privileged to be dealing with the disposal of the museum quality archival collection of Paul Smith ,one of the world's best known superfan's of Elton who over the last 54 years has put together an amazing collection of music and memorabilia spanning the entire career of arguably one of the most successful solo rock stars to have come out of the UK, Sir Elton John.

Over the last 54 years since becoming a fan aged 8 in 1972, Paul has been to 80 concerts across the world including two landmark concerts at Madison Square Garden , New York. Paul has personally met Elton 6 times over the years including two official EJAF events where he obtained in person autographs after brief chats with Elton.

Paul together with his two daughters, both fans, was recognised as a superfan by Elton's own management and they were chosen to appear in the official Rocket Entertainment video shot for the backdrop to Elton singing " Crocodile Rock " on the 330 date Farewell Tour, you can see a still from the video in the listing photos and you can also see a photo of Paul & Elton when they last met in February 2023.

So now the time has come as Paul reaches retirement age for him to downsize his collection and pass on the batten and give other collectors the chance to add some amazing Elton music and memorabilia to their collections.

In this listing as per the heading this is an extremely rare item that has made Paul's collection unique over the years and now it's time to make someone else's collection unique.
