ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA "all over the world:the very best of" cd.
what can you say about Jeff Lynne and Co.?.....
classy,classy rock n roll from the 70s and 80s!!!
all their major worldwide hits are on here and a couple of dud tracks, the worst of which is their version of the song they wrote for Olivia newton John which was the title of that abysmal movie from the early 1980s...Xanadu, i love Olivia's version, but ELO's sucks big time!,sounds flat,it doesnt say, but ive got a feeling it was just a demo version and they stuck it on here thinking fans might like it....wrong move guys!
that aside, very little wrong with the grandeous,pompus, over inflated rock that is ELO...legendary stuff IMO.
as a footnote, i did read an interview with john Lennon which was done shortly before his untimely death in 1980 and he stated that....this is what the Beatles would have sounded like if we'd have still been around!....high compliments indeed from the second greatest songwriter/performer in rock history!
