Sleeping with the Past, a tribute site for Elton John
Sleeping with the Past is Elton John’s 1989 album which was a tribute to the R&B music both Elton and Bernie Taupin listened to when they first met. This site is celebration and tribute to the album and has been a labor of love for several years. We hope you enjoy it!
The album was recorded at Puk Studios in Denmark (the same studio George Michael recorded Faith) and was released in the summer of 1989.
