“Heartache All Over the World” is a song by English musician Elton John from his 20th studio album, Leather Jackets (1986). Written by John and Bernie Taupin, it was released as the album’s lead single in September 1986, charting at number 45 in the UK Singles Chart and at number 55 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and reaching the top 10 in Australia, where it peaked at number 7.
The song talks about not being able to date for a night. In 2001, Elton John regarded “Heartache All Over the World” as the worst song he had ever recorded, calling it “pretty insubstantial”.
John performed the song four times during his Tour De Force tour in Australia in 1986, which is notable for John’s problems with his vocal cords during that time.

repleace en 24bits please man!
I second that. Please, please, if at all possible, I too have missed this tidbit:-(
It’s a delight to get this! Love your site DJPaul, you rock!!
Thank you very much. Also, a new one to me and very much appreciated.
You can’t dismiss an Elton John 12”, although this one is a new one for me, and i love it.
Thanks Paul 🙂
As you know I have a soft spot for your Elton John posts!! I know Elton dismisses this single and album, but I’ve always thought it rocks! Definitely one to blast, and I know a lot of people agree with me. Yes, Elton was at a low point while recording this album, but I submit to you Go It Alone, Paris, I Fall Apart, the title track and this single as evidence this album has redeeming value! Even the Cher duet isn’t bad. Which only proves Elton at his lowest is still better than most other artists. Thank you Paul… Read more »
This is one of my favorite Elton 12″ singles. It is one that I also suggest playing Loud! The record was just mastered very well in my opinion. A lost Elton treasure 🙂
Hey Paul!! I love it when you revisit your “back catalog” of transfers. I believe I first started following you back in 2012 or 2013 and I missed a lot of your stuff. I really like your Elton rips and am very excited to get this one!!
Jeff
You’re welcome, Jeff. Most of my Elton posts were done very early most in 2010. I hope to one day give all the early ones new transfers.
