    There is a two bonus tracks on the Best Buy edition. It’s Elton John’s outtake songs: The Perfect Love & Hey Armadillo. Stephane, don’t you know, did Powell or Zimmer or somebody else from production team of album arrangements on these?

      Found an answer for my question myself. These two songs are clearly Elton’s version, produced by Patrick Leonard. In Hey Armadillo you even notice the slap bass through the song. Player is Marcus Miller. You maybe known him for his solo work, collaborations with David Sanborn, Miles Davis (album “Tutu”) and many other world top musicians)

      Actually one of the first Alan Meyerson’s work in the cinema, alongside with Renaissance Man, Drop Zone and Speed, was Marcus Miller’s score for A Low Down Dirty Shame
