Elton John – Victim of Love

Victim of Love is Elton John’s 1979 venture into the disco era, a bold and experimental departure from his classic rock and pop roots. Produced by Pete Bellotte, known for his work with Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder, this album embraces the pulsing beats, glossy production, and dance floor grooves that defined late-70s disco. Featuring a disco-fueled cover of Chuck Berry’s Johnny B. Goode and the title track Victim of Love, Elton’s distinctive voice merges with Bellotte’s lush arrangements and studio sheen. Though a commercial outlier in Elton’s catalog, the album has since become a cult favorite among collectors for its uniqueness and rarity, representing a fascinating moment when rock legends dipped into the disco movement. This LP is a must-have for Elton John completists and collectors interested in the cross-genre experiments of the late 1970s.
