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!

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

I found a copy of Eldorado at Goodwill for $2.50! Perfect condition and sounds amazing.

BTW, I’m a fan of Jeff Lynne, but I’m not so sure that Roy Wood wasn’t the real genius in this band - if only briefly

was a huge fan of Roy - still got my pressings of “Wizzard Brew“ and “Introducing Eddie and the Falcons“ and a “Flowers in the Rain“ 45….

Big fan of the Move, and the very first ELO album, which was basically the Move with strings - Jeff got the strings, and Roy got the brass and winds on the last Move recordings.... All were Roy, Jeff, and Bev. Jeff is a wonderful songwriter but my favorite was Roy... "It Wasn't My Idea To Dance"....
