ELTON JOHN has smashed records for turning around the fastest-released live album in the world.
‘One Night Only’, which is released on November 13, was recorded at two sell-out shows at New York Madison Square Garden 22 days earlier. According to a press spokesperson, it took just 100 hours to mix, master and polish the recording for release.
