Vinyl Reissue!

17-11-70, first released in 1971, is the fifth official album release for Elton John, and his first live album. The recording was taken from a live radio broadcast on 17 November 1970, hence the album's title. According to John, a live album was never planned as a release. Recordings of the broadcast, however, were popular among bootleggers which, according to John's producer, Gus Dudgeon, eventually prompted the record label to release it as an album.
