There were never remasters released of "On The Third Day", "Face The Music" or "A New World Record" though, so it's about time they appear in a remastered form as well.

Has anyone heard ELO 2: Lost Planet? I gather it includes pieces of a long-lost concept album with Roy Wood that was recorded in between the first and second records...

It was re-issued with extra tracks in 2001 along with Discovery, Time and Secret Messages. It's only now that the rest of their albums are being re-issued in this format.

what, only a single passing reference to the xanadu soundtrack?
i'm alive and all over the world are hands down the best elo songs ever made.
(note how daft punk lifted a single throwaway moment from all over the world and expanded it into their biggest single)

Shame he's passed on at such a relatively young age. Underrated bassist, the sound he got on Discovery is begging to be sampled. He added some nice vocal touches too, especially on 'Evil Woman'. RIP.

I remember an ELO feature in Mojo back in 2001 where Kelly talked about becoming a cabbage for eight months and losing both his home and his first wife following his ill-advised and only partially successful legal action against JL. It seems that he ended up playing pubs for beer money. He was wrong to sue but in the end deserved better.

RIP. Now I guess Jeff Lynne, Bev Bevan and Richard Tandy were key members to a larger extent, but Grouchott contributed to most of their best albums.

Oh god, Eldorado. Out of the blue might have all the hits, but this was their masterpiece... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Bre3HF8_Vw

on the remastered edition, you get all the orchestral interludes as one track, as they recorded it and then split it up across the album.
a fantastic album.

"Still no expanded Secret Messages then - it was supposed to be a double originally but Lynne was told that was uneconomic in times of vinyl crisis (1983? I don't recall any vinyl crisis then. But anyway...). Apparently when reissued on CD they attempted to restore it to its original format but Lynne put the kibosh on that out of pique, so we still don't get a legit issue of "Hello Old Friend," possibly their/his best-ever song"
There's a very very long thread on the HOffman forums that's worth a read if you're interested in the history of this. The main person in the thread was working on a book which was maybe going to be proposed for 33 1/3 but it sounded like it was getting too long for that and he's been working on it for three years or something.
Anyway, how did people rate the Lynne's ELO tour from a few years ago? Wondering if I should spring for tix this summer.

when all is said and done re this band, it cannot be denied that this is a seriously mad cover.
