Assuming you know about "Rare Masters" and "To Be Continued..." which
covers a lot of formerly rare stuff, the following is based on two souurces,
Phillip Norman's biography plus my own collection  which has things 
not mentioned in the biography.  This does not include his K-tel-like 
covers from the late '60's/1970.  And I'm sure I missed something!
(I may have a sealed japanese version of the boxed set available a
round Jan 5.--write then if interested.)

Paul MacLauchlan (sp?) of Toronto has an outstanding Discography and 
collection as well.  Folks with large EJ collections can be r
eached via the very active Elton John mail group.  Write to 
elton-john-request@uiuc.edu.  Dan Blanchard
is our Star Programmer/Manager of the works and I am the Founder/
Mentor/Steve Brown figure.

(I have all recordings except those with an asterisk after the date.
Please let me know if you have an additional copy of those for sale/trade.)
