Remember the Electric Light Orchestra

Anyone on this forum remember ELO? I have all of their original albums from the 70's and 80's but they are starting to show a little wear from play... Wonder why they have not re-released their best work on good quality, heavy duty vinyl? Seriously, Jeff Lynne is a bona fide musical genius.

I'm ready to re-buy all their albums!

Fortunate to see them in the late 70's. It was a very good concert and they sounded excellent at that particular venue. Can't remember the warm up act.🍄🥳

I wonder if Jeff Lynn is having a feud with old band mates, label or publishing or problems with the old tapes as I think he rerecorded some of the ELO hits a few year ago

If you've never heard Wishbone Ash, then give their album "Argus" a spin. Great stuff.

Does anyone remember ELO?  To me, that is like asking “Does anyone remember Gonoreah?”  I’m sorry.......I generally like those kinds of quasi-prog type bands, but there is something about that band that totally turns me off.  They have a few decent tunes but the overall sound is just too over the top hokey, cornball, cheeze.

Listen to the first few albums, before they became overly pop. Great stuff.
