Elton John BBC Sessions 1970 Limited Edition 12 Inch Album Clear Vinyl
Pickup currently not available
A Rather Marvellous Slice of Elton John, Straight from the BBC Archives
Look, we're not ones to overstate things, but this is genuinely splendid. Captured live at the BBC Elstree Centre in Borehamwood on 22 May 1970, this collection brings together some of Elton John's most glorious early performances, pressed onto 180 gram clear vinyl that's rather fetching to look at, if we do say so ourselves.
These aren't studio-polished versions. These are the real deal: raw, energetic renditions of the songs that made people actually care about Elton John in the first place. Your Song, Border Song, Take Me to the Pilot, Burn Down the Mission—the lot. Utterly brilliant.
Why Choose Our Elton John BBC Sessions Album
Authentic Live Recording: Genuinely captured in 1970, not some remastered facsimile. You get the warmth and immediacy of that moment, warts and all.
Premium 180g Clear Vinyl: Sounds rather good and looks fabulous on the turntable. The kind of thing that makes visitors ask questions.
Limited Edition: This isn't churned out by the million. It's a proper collector's item that actually means something.
Complete Early Catalogue: Eleven tracks spanning both sides, featuring the essential Elton John compositions that still hold up beautifully after all these years.

SHIPPING + RETURNS
THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS
This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.
SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.
Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.
At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.
We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS
You have 14 days to return items.
Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!
🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY:
Our wonderful partners put their hearts into everything they make.
Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.
When in doubt, do ask us first!

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect. Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience.
Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently. Explore our British makers, discover sustainable brands, browse women-led businesses, find the perfect gift for her, or simply wander through our new arrivals and see what finds you.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — read all about us, or step inside and see what catches your imagination.
A Curated Marketplace for Independent Ethical Brands
Discover our world of independent brands, conscious design, and purposeful creativity — all in one place.
Sostter is more than a marketplace. We're here to inspire a more thoughtful way to shop — one that celebrates the makers, the dreamers, and the independent brands doing things properly. Every brand on Sostter has been individually vetted for its originality, quality, and values. From sustainable fashion and ethical homeware to handmade jewellery and design-led gifts — all brought together in one considered space. Browse by location, by purpose, or simply wander and see what finds you. Want to sell with us? We'd love to hear from you.
