My mom died two weeks ago today. This was the first album i ever bought in the summer of '75. Mom loved the song Curtains and i wanted to hear the lead in. Miss you Mom...

August 1975. I met my Dad, outside his place of work. It was my 18th birthday. Dad gave me a fiver. 'Go and get that LP you've been going on and on about. And bring me the change'. £3.25 worth of vinyl, from Ali Baba's record shop, on Walton Vale in Liverpool. And I played it to death. Still in my 'top 10' albums of all time.

"the time had come, to leave upon the wind, not to return"

No words can describe how incredibly wonderful this album is, especially these two songs so supremely juxtapositioned

The transition into Curtains makes me cry every single time.

[gertiemoo]

The harmonies in "treasure children always seem to find" get me. Every. Single. Time.

"And just like us, you must have had a once a upon a time". Priceless!!

[seumasmilne]

How many of us in our coming of age days, sheltered in the wondrous music and lyrics of Elton and Bernie. We were so lucky.

Once upon a time it was 1975 … we didn’t realize how great life was at 14 and being in the moment with Elton John ❤🌸

"But that's OK, there's treasure children always seek to find / And just like us, you must have had... A ONCE UPON A TIME"
Thanks Elton, Bernie, Davey, Dee and Nigel for these amazing musical stories in 70's!

What I wouldn't give to go back in time...truly one of the best albums ever!

[joshburgess]

Elton’s longtime producer, Gus Dudgeon, said he felt Captain Fantastic was Elton's best album and that everyone was in top form.

[hello_its_me.]

Take notice, young ones...this is how real music was written, sung, and performed.

I owned this lp as a teenager and played it so much I wore the grooves out - this one and Caribou. Great albums both.

46 years on, still the best ten minutes and forty-one seconds in rock.

[scottthrower]

I'm 61. This is my favorite album of all time by anyone. 👍 Thanks for the double shot!

[stephenfermoyle]

NOBODY WRITES SONGS LIKE THIS ANYMORE OMG

The culmination of the whole affair! Curtains is the most haunting tune.

[johnaddeo]

Some 40 years later, I can still see 20, 000 Bic lighters swaying back and forth in a darkened Madison Square Garden, as the refrain from Curtains played for nearly 10 minutes, with a Harlem choir backing Elton up. An incredible experience.
