About this album

Sleeping With The Past is a polished late-80s Elton John album that pairs strong hooks with a more reflective mood. Released in 1989, it reunited John with lyricist Bernie Taupin for a set that favours classic pop-rock craft over reinvention, with standouts such as Healing Hands, Sacrifice and Club at the End of the Street giving the record its commercial and emotional centre. The album was produced by Chris Thomas and became one of John’s biggest comeback-era successes, helped by Sacrifice’s long chart life and international appeal. Its balance of melodic directness and mature songwriting makes it a key entry in his late-80s catalogue.
