Electric Light Orchestra
Early ELO
This British double disc is quite a nifty item, despite the fact that it
duplicated the entire contents of ELO's first two albums (though that too is
understandable, as those albums had been out of print in the U.K., never having
seen a CD pressing). Why did I splurge on this? Because, like Afterglow, it has some neato extra stuff, including
very interesting quadrophonic mixes of some songs from the first album (which,
in stereo, simply reveal different aspects of the existing performances that are
inaudible in the original stereo album mixes), some On
The Third Day out-takes, and a never-before-heard song - rather a silly
sounding one, actually - called Baby I Apologise, supposedly from the
Third Day sessions. The informative booklet also adds to the package.
I recommend this to serious ELO scholars, and those who really liked the group's
early sound.
This title is out of print.
