100 ESSENTIAL ELTON JOHN

DEEP CUTS

REG STRIKES BACK {1988}

Elton released ‘Leather Jackets’ in 1986; a live album recorded with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in Sydney, Australia the following year and ‘Greatest Hits (Volume 3)’. 1988 saw him unleash ‘Reg Strikes Back’. After the disappointing 1986 studio LP, Chris Thomas returned in the producer’s chair for the new album. Guests on the disc included David Paton (Pilot), Pete Townshend (The Who) and The Beach Boys’ Bruce Johnston and Carl Wilson. The LP spawned the hit single “I Don’t Wanna Go On With You Like That”.
