Regimental Sgt. Zippo is the legendary album that never was for Elton John. Signed to DJM as an artist in early 1968, he cut 12 tracks at DJM studios in Londons New Oxford Street, for a debut album, that was never released.

As part of the excavation of material for Jewel Box, the original running order was located: after the success of its limited release in mono for Record Store Day 2021, this new LP edition is being widely released in stereo and comes with a printed inner bag with lyrics.
