Released in May 1972, Honky Château is the fifth studio album by Elton John, which includes singles “Rocket Man” and “Honky Cat.” Named after the eighteenth century Château d’Herouville outside Paris where it was recorded, this 50th anniversary edition contains the original album and a newly created selection of outtakes from the original session tapes.

This 2CD format additionally contains eight live recordings from the Royal Festival Hall show in 1972, where the tracks receive their live debut, just a few days after being recorded at the Château. Includes an 40-page booklet containing rare photos, memorabilia and an essay featuring interviews from those who were there at the time.
