Richard Chandler, motorcycle and firearm advocate (!!!) wanted to know
some details, mostly physical, about the Elton John tribute album.
I work in a record store, and we just got the darn thing in yesterday.
    I'm not sure, but I imagine it would be filed in the "Rock Collections"
section of most record stores I'm familiar with. Physically, the CDs at
least are packaged in a white box, with the title and phrase:"Two Rooms,
a tribute to the songs of Elton John and Bernie Taupin" prominent. Below
are pictured two overlapping distorted faces, one blue and one orange.
Apparently, a companion video (which our store didn't get) has also been
released...anyone know if Kate is on it?
   BTW, apparently the title of the collection was taken from the fact
that Elton and Bernie Taupin don't actually sit down together when they
collaborate. Taupin writes the lyrics, hands them to EJ who goes off and
composes music for them, hence the songs are created in two different rooms.
