Episode 01 -Elton's Buried Treasure
In the first episode, Neil (your able host) takes some classic songs, and turns them upside down, until the vocals and bass fall out, and then invites you to listen to what’s underneath. Hear the songs afresh from a whole new angle.

Episode 02 – Buckmaster Before Elton
This episode takes you back to the 2nd of November 1969, to a Miles Davis gig, at Ronnie Scott’s jazz club, where Elton met a 23 year old Paul Buckmaster for the first time.

Episode 03 – Regimental Sgt Zippo – The Debut Album That Never Was
This episode skips through the 1968 almost-debut album, track-by-track. How good would this album have been if it had come out in 1968? How would it have fared? Actually that’s a question I don’t answer. I think we know the answer.

Episode 04 – It Was 40 Years Ago Today, Grumpy Elton Sacked The Band On Stage
This is the story of the band that Elton essentially sacked, live on stage, entirely out of the blue.
40 years ago, Elton played a charity gig at Wembley Pool. The band were expecting him to announce that he was going out on tour again, with them as his backing band.

Episode 06 – Cool As Christmas – Collaborations That Make Elton Cooler
