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!

Ok.

The point of this thread was ??
I guess that I was bored and needed something to fill the hours... :)

Just wondering why they haven't gotten around to re-releasing ELO; I mean they are constantly re-releasing so many other artists' work from the 1970's... Of course, if you don't appreciate Jeff Lynne's work, why answer the thread...

Its nothing against his work, but you yourself even say :

So, you kinda left the door wide open for comments.

Maybe you have seen this site before (?)and if not maybe you will find some albums you are interested in :

Why not just buy some nice clean used copies of the ELO LPs you desire - they're common enough and for the most part sound pretty good too. While they may not be the last word in extension or detail, I find them quite musically involving - an artifact I'm sure whatever over-zealous knob twiddler they find to "remaster" (an oxymoron if there ever was one) the LPs will promptly dispose of in favor of hi-fi wizardry.

There ought to be a Hippocratic Oath that audio engineers, and particularly mastering engineers are sworn to: Do No Harm.
