‘Carla/Etude’ is the second track Elton did with the London Symphony Orchestra (after ‘Tonight’ on ‘Blue Moves’) and is featured on his fifteenth studio album ‘The Fox’, released in 1981. Carla is the name of the song's co-producer (and Elton’s long-time sound engineer) Clive Franks’ wife who was a makeup artist on Elton’s tour at this time. The arrangement is by James Newton Howard, a premiere film composer credited for compositions on blockbusters such as Pretty Woman and Space Jam. The end of the track is known as ‘Fanfare’.
Visions, originally released on VHS in 1982, was created for The Fox & noted as one of the first long-form visual albums. The videos were conceptualised by Keith Williams and directed by Russell Mulcahy and available now officially on YouTube for the first time. Watch here:
