To Be Continued...is a four-discbox setby English musicianElton John,originally released in 1990. The box set was compiled by John andBernie Taupinthat same year. It details John's music from his days withBluesologyto the then-present day.

Aside from hit singles, the box set features deep cuts, unreleased music, fan favorites and live performances in John's career. Four new songs ( "Made for Me", "You Gotta Love Someone","I Swear I Heard the Night Talkin' "and"Easier to Walk Away") were recorded for the box set.

Release

Newly sober John was unhappy with the US cover art (it reminded him of his old excesses), so the 1991 UK release was issued with new cover art and also replaced "You Gotta Love Someone" (which had already been released onThe Very Best of Elton Johnthe previous year) and "I Swear I Heard the Night Talkin'" with then-unreleased "Suit of Wolves" and "Understanding Women". The former become one of the B-sides to "The One"and the latter was included as a track on the 1992 albumThe One.

MCA's rights to John's music lapsed in the 1990s, and the Elton John back catalogue was reverted toPolydor Records,which put it back out in upgraded editions on theIsland Recordslabel. This set was deleted by 1994, and was soon selling for serious amounts of money as a collector's item. However, in 1999, MCA's parent company,Universal Music,bought Polydor, and suddenly this box set reappeared.

In the US, it was certified gold in June 1992 and platinum in November 2006. In April 2016, it was certified 2 x platinum by the RIAA.
