This is definitely one of my favorite ELO albums.

I reviewed the standard version of this album previously.

"Best of" sets are always weird. I mean, "greatest hits" are not subject to differences of opinion.

Discovery really represented ELO's foray more fully into pop based music, and particularly disco. It wouldn't land under prog were it not for their previous catalog.

This album is an intriguing one.

This 1971 album was apparently entitled No Answer in the USA, although this was due to a misunderstanding between the band and the distributor.

First, a confession: I was a huge ELO fan when I was at school. I thought they were the gods of pop.

It might be obvious, but this has always been one of my favorite albums from Electric Light Orchestra.

Were I to categorize this based on the music here alone, it probably wouldn't fit under the progressive rock heading.

Roy Wood came to fame as part of both The Move and Electric Light Orchestra (which basically evolved out of The Move).

After two reasonably successful albums for EMI Harvest, Jeff Lynne’s merry men moved over to Don Arden’s Jet records for their next release.

This collection from Jim Capaldi is so strong. It gathers up three albums across four years of his career.

I know a lot of people dismiss ELO. Certainly their disco era had a lot to do with that. This disc was just at the edge of the start of that.

I know a lot of people have slagged on Electric Light Orchestra for being too polished and too pop oriented.

ELO is actually one of my favorite bands. Jeff Lynne is a master, so why not reach for the remasters when it comes to pound for pound quality?

By the time this album had come out, I had pretty much given up on ELO. That's kind of a shame because there is some fine music here.

The premise is simple: list 200 albums that are under-appreciated. When Jim Santora started the project he set some ground rules. 

When Electric Light Orchestra came back with Zoom, I think a lot of fans had moved on to other things.

Around the turn of the 1990s, ELO was in a bit of a transition of sorts, really.
