Comments for John, Elton, Reg Strikes Back

The album cover depicts many of the elaborate costumes that Elton had worn in his many concerts prior to release of this album.

NEVER underestimate Elton's staying power. A fine comeback.

A very good album - hard to find, but worth it; esp. Mona Lisa's...

This album had a great impact on my childhood. The first "new" release I ever bought as a seven year-old, "A Word In Spanish" was a hit in my grade 3 classroom. I once had a mean bully singing it with me. He then liked me all of a sudden. He bought a copy of REG, and he was addicted. I was able to get a promo poster because I agreed to take all the tape off it in the store!! It''s gone now. I miss it. Anyway, the problem with this album is that the songs don''t have common thread at all, but they seem to go togther in a strange way. Get it on vinyl because you can see all the outfits up close and in detail--just one more reason to bring the medium back.

The title derives from Elton`s true name, Reginald Dwight; Pete Townshend plays guitar on "Town of Plenty"
