No, that's not an Elton song, but I just wanted to address something before I go any further.

Several people have asked me in the comments about certain tracks that don't appear on the proper albums; B-sides and such that may or may not have been included on the CD reissues of the late '90s, and were definitely included on the 2-CD collection Rare Masters. At first I was just going to omit these, because in most cases I just don't own them (see breakdown below)...but I see where most, if not all, of these are available via iTunes, and I'm thinking that there's no reason why I couldn't purchase these tracks upon occasion so I can include them here at some point...and also because, well, I'd like to hear 'em! And for that matter, I haven't ruled out picking up Rare Masters, if I can get it at a good price on eBay or somewhere like that.

So take heart, Friends soundtrack fans, "Can I Put You On" may be coming soon!
