Wild Love would have been a great fit for Leather Jackets though it does sound a bit like Fall Apart. Leather Jackets was quite good in my opinion. I recently bought the remaster/vinyl of LJ.
Oh my goodness, this is wonderful... thank you so much for posting! I was about to say I would have loved to hear the definitive version, but given the time it was demoed I'm afraid it would have been kitchen-sunk... I wonder if Elton remembers some of these hidden gems. He couldmake a brand new album just recording them now!
I wonder why it wasn't worked up beyond this demo. It's a good song and better than some of the tracks on Leather Jackets, which has some awful stuff on it
The only songs on LJ I find unlistenable are Don't Trust That Woman, Go It Alone & Memory Of Love. The rest range from average to pretty good. He admitted he was so high on coke while making this album he couldn't think straight
