8493 - Elton John Original DJM Records Press Kit for ‘Border Song’ - Early Press Photo and Promotional Release (1970)

Elton John Original DJM Records Press Kit for ‘Border Song’ - Early Press Photo and Promotional Release (1970) Extremely rare DJM Records press kit issued to promote the release of Elton John’s 1970 single ‘Border Song,’ containing a two-page press release and an early 6 x 8.75 press photograph of John standing in the snow. The first page of the release reads: "We think it's one of the most beautiful records ever made but that's what you'd expect us to say and we're biased. So just listen to...Border Song, written, sung and played by Elton John, released on D.J.M. Records 20th March." The second page reads in part: "At Dick James, we think that Elton John can be the Songwriter of the Seventies. During the last couple of years his partnership with lyricist Bernie Taupin has produced a consistent series of good, original songs. Now we feel that Elton deserves wider recognition." Includes its original plain white folder. In overall fine condition, with a couple of small creases to the photograph. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks.
