DISCLAIMER: We got all excited one night, decided to record a pod, ended up doing it in Anthony's kitchen and consequently there's a lot of echoes and hisses. We still think it's a great show, but if you have certain sensitivities or preferences, this one might not be for you. This was a one-off, so do check any of our other higher-quality recordings ;)

Seventeen episodes in and Dominic & Anthony are still standing in their mission to find Elton's best studio album. As they examine his 1983 solo studio album, will 2V40 be heralded like a saint, or treated like a whipping boy?
