With sales of approx. 300,000 US copies, it was one of Elton's poorest-selling albums in the United States. The track, "Elton's Song", was banned from radio play in some countries due to its content, which included references to homosexuality. The album was produced by John, Clive Franks and for the first time, Chris Thomas, who would produce many more albums with John through most of the 1980s and '90s. Five of the songs (noted below) were recorded during the sessions for his previous album ''21 at 33''. All B-sides released around this time were also from those sessions. ==Track listing== ;Side one #"Breaking Down Barriers" (John, Gary Osborne) – 4:41 #"Heart in the Right Place" (John, Osborne) – 5:11 * #"Just Like Belgium" (John, Bernie Taupin)– 4:08 #"Nobody Wins" (Jean-Paul Dreau, Osborne) – 3:37 #"Fascist Faces" (John, Taupin) – 5:10 ;Side two # * #"Fanfare" (John, James Newton Howard) – 1:26 * #"Chloe" (John, Osborne) – 4:40 * #"Heels of the Wind" (John, Taupin) – 3:32 #"Elton's Song" (John, Tom Robinson) – 3:01 * #"The Fox" (John, Taupin) – 5:11 ( *): Recorded in August 1979 and produced by John and Clive Franks. Chris Thomas produced the other tracks. In 2003, Mercury/Universal and The Rocket Record Company reissued the album on CD, remastered by Gary Moore. The line-up contained no bonus tracks. On the 2003 reissue and remaster (and European) CD, "Carla/Etude", "Fanfare" and "Chloe" are combined into one track, making it a nine-track album. French and Quebec releases of the album included "J'Veux de la Tendresse" in place of "Nobody Wins". "Tendresse" was the original French version of the song which Osborne wrote English lyrics for, thus transforming the song into "Nobody Wins". After 1981, only "Chloe", "Just Like Belgium", "Nobody Wins" and "Elton's Song" would be included in Elton's Jump Up tour in 1982. While "Chloe", "Just Like Belgium" and "Nobody Wins" have never been performed again since that tour, "Elton's Song" was performed a few times on another occasion in 1999. Since then however, Elton has also stopped performing that song. However since the album's release, Elton would perform "Carla/Etude", many times up to now, making it the only song off the album that is still occasionally being performed as of 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Fox (Elton John album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
