It's from the Suffolk County website. I'm not sure what sort of copyright tag to put on it.

Elton John
[edit]Hello,
I've noticed that you've made some very useful edits to some Elton John articles on wikipedia in the past, most notably these three edits (listed below) to his Greatest Hits albums.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Elton_John%27s_Greatest_Hits_Volume_II&diff=52673857&oldid=52302456 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Elton_John%27s_Greatest_Hits_Vol._3&diff=53678777&oldid=41623193 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Greatest_Hits_1976%E2%80%931986&oldid=68747176
I therefore thought that you were the best person to ask if the following information (see paragraph below) is correct that is contained in the article entitled Rocket Records - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_Records
"In the US and Canada, John's residency on his own label was short-lived. After only one album, Blue Moves, and a couple of singles (including the mega hits "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" and "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word"), he returned to MCA. This might have been due to MCA dropping Rocket, resulting in the label's move to RCA distribution. The label was discontinued in the US in the early 1980s, then relaunching in 1995 with John's Made in England album, distributed by Island Records. 1997's The Big Picture and "Candle in the Wind" were distributed in the US by stepsister A&M Records."
The reason why I don't think this is correct is because as far as I was aware, he never left MCA (the article implies he left sometime between "Here And There" and "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" and returned sometime between the "Bite Your Lip" single and "Greatest Hits Volume II"). Also, by "a couple of singles", he actually means three.
I always thought that it was MCA - not Rocket Records - that released "Don't Go Breaking My Heart", "Blue Moves" and its two accompanying singles in the US. If this is correct, it could be possible that the person who wrote this paragraph came to this assumption because he saw the Rocket label on these four particular US releases.
Furthermore, were Rocket Records ever distributed by RCA as the person who writes this article suggests? This is the first time I've ever heard of this arrangement. That said, a Google search brought this up: http://www.popsike.com/ELTON-JOHN-GREATEST-HITS-RCA-MUSIC-SERVICE-SEALED/230464815700.html
The article also suggests that he returned to MCA as a result of "MCA dropping Rocket". In short, this person asserts that Elton John was with MCA, formed his own record label which was immediately dropped by MCA, released four records that were distributed by RCA distribution and then decided to rejoin MCA, even though they had recently dropped his record company.
Is this right?
All the best,
Standingfish.
Route 25C
[edit]Andrew, I agree with your comments with regard to NY Route 25C. I believe that the main article is incorrect in a number of ways in light of the signage, as supported by the photo. I believe that the article should be amended. Mapmann (talk) 01:55, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
