Thirty-seven years ago


Info from Wiki:
17-11-70 (US title 11-17-70) is a live album by British singer/songwriter Elton John, released in 1971. The recording was originally popular among bootleggers which, according to Gus Dudgeon, eventually prompted the record label to release it as an album. It has been said that the release by an eastern bootlegger of the whole sixty minute aircast rather than the forty minutes selected by Dick James Music significantly cut into the U.S. sales of the live album.
