ELTON JOHN ALBUM COVER BACK SIDE CRACK
"Heartache All Over the World" was the only single to achieve chart success in the US, though it failed to crack the top 50. However, lyricist Bernie Taupin believes The Big Picture deserves the honour of worst album. He'd go out and do some coke and it'd be all over his mouth, his nose would be running and I'd go: 'Oh God, this is just awful'." In 2000, Gus Dudgeon said: "There was a chance he could polish himself off. In 2001 Elton regarded Heartache All Over the World as the worst song he'd ever recorded, calling it "pretty insubstantial". I was not a well budgie, I was married and it was just one bag of coke after another." With its biker cover, he said it was "very butch but a total disaster. In 2006, John declared this his least favourite of all his albums: " Gus Dudgeon did his best but you can't work with a loony." He's also been quoted as saying there were some records where he was "not together at all" and cited this album as an example. The majority of the tracks from the album were recorded during the Ice on Fire sessions in 1985. It is also the poorest-charting album of his career. It was his first album to not create any top 40 singles in either the US or the UK since 1970's Tumbleweed Connection, which had no singles released from it. Leather Jackets is the twentieth studio album by British singer/songwriter Elton John, recorded at Sol Studios in England and Wisseloord Studios in the Netherlands, and released in 1987.
