On March 25, the remarkable Elton John proudly turned 60 years old. To celebrate the occasion, he performed his 60th concert at Madison Square Garden, and two days later released a newly compiled and digitally remastered collection of his greatest hits from past to present. This over 78-minute-long compilation is the first-ever single disc to cover the first 35 years of the great singer-songwriter's career.

The Number 1's series is a brand-new line of CDs featuring #1 radio hits from the biggest names in music. This collection includes decade compilations as well as individual artist CDs and is being released by Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) in its ground-breaking, environmentally-friendly packaging format. A first for the music industry, the standard package (both sleeve and tray) will be completely paper-recyclable, continuing the company's long-standing commitment to being "green."

To further reduce the amount of paper in the Eco-Pack, the CD booklet will no longer be offered.UMe is the first North American music company to replace the traditional jewel case with recycled paperboard sleeves and the plastic tray with trays made from PaperFoam®, a new packaging technology from Shorewood Packaging, a business of International Paper, that is paper-recyclable and biodegradable. Shorewood Packaging is the first North American packaging supplier to produce disc trays from PaperFoam®.

Some of the greatest albums of all time were born from artists reaching their breaking points. Bruce Springsteen got so frustrated making Born to Run that he threw the tapes into a swimming pool out of anger. The Dark Side of the Moon was the product of Syd Barrett’s declining mental health and eventual departure from Pink Floyd. And Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours was created during a time when the band, to put it mildly, was going through a series of internal romantic conflicts.While I don’t think the new Brandi Carlile/Elton John studio record Who Believes In Angels? will achieve the same legendary status as the aforementioned classics, it’s quite great, with a lot of drama behind the scenes. (Spoiler! Elton John, according to the behind-the-scenes video, almost quits).
