Shortly after his 41st birthday, Elton John (a.k.a. Reg Dwight), released REG STRIKES BACK. At this particular juncture in life, the decision was made to auction off all costumes and props collected and worn at shows over the years. Using the layout of these items as an album cover, the contents within proved to be EJ's most successful album of the late '80s. Driven by the elegantly wrought "A Word In Spanish" and the pounding piano of "I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That," REG found Elton John sounding no worse for wear, surrounded by an assortment of guests.
Along with old stalwarts Davey Johnstone, Dee Murray and Nigel Olsson, guests included Pete Townshend on "Town Of Plenty," jazz trumpeter Freddie Hubbard on "Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters (Part Two)" and Beach Boys Bruce Johnston and Carl Wilson, providing harmonies for "Since God Invented Girls." After a brief health scare resulting in surgery to remove nodules from his vocal chords, REG STRIKES BACK marked Elton John's robust return to good health and great music-making.
