Which Elton John album was recorded in just six days?

Honky Château was recorded in just six days.

The album was made in 1972 at Château d'Hérouville, a residential studio in France. Elton John, lyricist Bernie Taupin, and the musicians worked quickly and productively, capturing the loose, energetic sound that became characteristic of the record.

The sessions produced “Rocket Man,” “Honky Cat,” and “Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters.” John's touring rhythm section of Dee Murray and Nigel Olsson played a central role, giving the album a more cohesive band feel than some earlier recordings.

The six-day figure refers to the core recording sessions and is often repeated as an example of the speed of John's early-1970s creative period. It does not mean every later overdub, mix, or production decision was completed within the same six calendar days.
