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!

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.

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….
