"To Be Continued" is a 4 CD/4 cassette box set detailing Elton John's music from his days with Bluesology to the then-present day. Four new songs ("Made For Me", "You Gotta Love Someone", "I Swear I Heard The Night Talkin'", & "Easier To Walk Away") were recorded for the box set. Newly sober Elton was unhappy with the US cover art (it reminded him of his old excesses), the 1991 UK release was issued with new cover art and also replaced "You Gotta Love Someone" and "I Swear I Heard the Night Talkin'" with then unreleased "Suit of Wolves" and "Understanding Women", the former a b-side to "The One" and the later on the 1992 album "The One."
