1988年リリースの作品のリマスター盤です。
エルトンは80年代に約年1枚のペースでアルバムを出していますが
どれも聞きごたえのあるものでこの「Reg Strikes Back」も良い出来です。
1曲目の「Town Of Plenty」からキャッチーでポップな展開に引き込まれます。
「5. Japanese Hands」はベースの音が印象的なバラードの佳曲です。
ボーナス・トラックは以下の4曲(全22分)です。
11. Rope Around A Fool
12. I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That (Shep Pettibone Mix)
13. I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That (Just Elton And His Piano Mix)
14. Moda Lisas And Mad Hatters (Part Two) (The Renaissance Mix)
リマスターでかなり音も良くなってお薦めです。

個人的な意見では余程のファンか、全作コンプリートを目指す方以外にはお勧めしません。喉の手術からのカムバック作で、お祝いポイントを上げたいところですが、曲のレベルがかなり低いです。オープニングは軽快ですが、「スペイン語はよくわからない」と訴える曲がちょっとダメで、続く名作「モナリザ&マッドハッター」のパート2はパート1の面影が全くない曲に仕上がっており、ほぼここらで終わった感があります。唯一の救いは5曲目の日本滞在時の印象を語った「ジャパニーズ・ハンド」。刺激的ではありませんが感動がゆったりと伝わってくる内容の曲です。たぶん創作に関してはここらが底で、エルトンは終わったと感じた人も多くいたかもしれません。まさか次作以降復活を遂げてゆくとは誰も感じなかったのではと思います。

One of Elton's Best
2010年5月5日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I bought this album way back in 1988 right after it was released & it is still one of my favorites today. IMHO, it is not only one of the best from the 80's but also Elton's expansive catalog as well. Alot of fans do tend to knock it becuz it sounds too 80's or becuz there's alot of synth or becuz it isn't up there with classic albums like "Yellow Brick Road". So does it have songs that measure up to epics like "Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding"? Nope. But what it does have is a strong set of songs with great lyrics, infectious melodies & also some hidden gems that never made it on the radio but probably could have. Tracks like "Town of Plenty", "Mona Lisa's And Mad Hatters (Part Two)" & "Goodbye Marlon Brando" are very likable & fast paced pop tunes you will probably like the very first time you hear them. Then, of course, you have the album's big hit "I Don't Wanna Go on With You Like That". A very catchy dance track with a nice rhythm to it. My favorite track on the album is "The Camera Never Lies". It is a very catchy mid-tempo number that kind of sounds a little like Elton's future hit - "Healing Hands" and just like that song it has great percussion, piano, synth & a nice chorus as well. It's a shame it wasn't released as a radio single cuz I think it could've charted fairly well if given the chance. The ballads on the album are also top notch. The best being the elegant single - "A Word In Spanish". Definitely one of Elton's best songs. I also enjoyed the quiet but atmospheric "Japanese Hands" & the album's closer "Since God Invented Girls" which is a tribute not only to beautiful women but also the Beach Boys and as it turns out, they showed up to provide their trademark harmony b/g vocals on the song. The other tracks are also pretty good & sometimes even quite humorous if you listen to the vocals closely.
As far as this re-release goes, there are 4 previously unreleased tracks. The first is "Rope Around A Fool" & it has a nice bluesy New Orleans style piano that kind of reminds me of Dr. John. There are also 2 re-mixes of "I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That" & "Mad Hatters 2" which are interesting but much inferior to the originals. The re-mix of "I don't wanna" is a typical dance/hip-hop style re-mix that is much longer than the original (7:17) & is also sped up somewhat. The re-mix of "Mad Hatters" is very similar in style it & clocks in at (6:19). The highlight from the new songs, though, is the stripped down jazzier version of "I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That". It's still a fast song but all you hear is Elton on the piano with some nice b/g vocals & it is very intimate (think Unplugged). I almost like it better than the original & i'm not even a big fan of stripped down music.
As for the re-mastering, it is definitely an improvement over the original sound but only somewhat. The biggest difference being a much punchier bass & slightly louder volume. So if you already own this album, it's not a night & day difference but if you love this album as much as I do or wanna hear the new tracks, it's def worth the double dip.
All in all, I think this is one of Elton's best albums & it deserves much more respect than it typically gets. A joy from beginning to end & you would be hard pressed not to find at least a few tracks here that are really enjoyable.
