Biography

Biographyby Jason Ankeny

The Electric Light Orchestra's ambitious yet irresistible fusion of Beatlesque pop, classical arrangements, and futuristic iconography rocketed the group to massive commercial success throughout the 1970s. ELO was formed in Birmingham, England in the autumn of 1970 from the ashes of the eccentric art-pop combo the Move, reuniting frontman Roy Wood with ... Read more in Amazon's E.L.O. Store

5.0 out of 5 stars A CLASSIC COMPILATION 12 Nov 2006
Format:Audio CD
The best compilation that E.L.O. have on the market. Every hit single is here. You realise how good a band is when you begin to like the tracks you don't really know more than the big hits. Check out "so serious" for instance. A classic. If you are looking for an E.L.O. best of this is the one to get.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant 16 Nov 2005
By Ashley
Format:Audio CD
For those of you wondering about the absense of "Hold on Tight" in the track list above - dont! It's there (track 13 disc 2). In fact I can't think of any hits missing from this collection from one of Britain's most versatile, creative and talented bands.

5.0 out of 5 stars A joy from track one... 11 Jan 2001
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
This is a terrific CD for anyone who has ever listened to the great classical rockers that were ELO. The CD contains all their UK singles and some album tracks as well. I think one of the things that made them so good was the fact that the utilised all of the technology of the time and were quite different to anyone else (although I suppose they are quite Beatles influenced). Look out for tracks such as Telephone Line, Xanadu, Mr. Blue Skies, Livin' Thing...all fantastic.

Has all the classic hits as well as less known songs. Other albums do not have 'Roll over Beethoven' which I love; Jeff Lynne is a genius writer/producer.
