ELO's eighth studio album.....
lots of psuedo-disco sounds on here and thumping dance beats...but still sounding like an ELO album....
lots of Beatle-esque resemblances also, none moreso than on the Sgt.Peppers sounding "diary of horace wimp" also...
this was actually the first studio album released in the UK to have hit the top10 four times with singles from one album....
only a couple on here i dont love, even the cd bonus track, a cover of Del Shannon's "little town flirt" is pretty darn good IMO...
love the album,love the band and love Lynne's production on other people's material...a true musical genius IMO
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
