The Electric Light Orchestra were one of the biggest and most successful bands of the late 1970s and have sold well over 5 MILLION albums in the UK alone - producing a massive string of hit singles and albums along the way. From "Evil Woman", "Don't Bring Me Down" and "Mr Blue Sky" to "Livin' Thing" and “Sweet Talkin’ Woman", this 2LP / 20 track VERY BEST OF compilation contains a string of hits that most bands would envy, and is an excellent introduction (or re-introduction!) to this legendary band. Review: 5 Stars - Perfect. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this. Many thanks. Review: Superb album from this British Band - ELO combined pop with classical instruments - an unusual approach, and oh boy did it work. It enhanced their music. Violins and cellos mix seamlessly with synthesisiers and rock 'n' pop. It still sounds fresh today. ELO's music sounds so American yet they were a British band, from Birmingham. This 'Very Best Of' album is a great compilation. 'Mr Blue Sky' is great to put on when the sun comes out - the sun lifts you, and 'Mr Blue Sky' just raises your spirits further. It is a truly 'feel-good' track. I have noticed radio stations playing it more and more when the weather is good. This album gives you other hits such 'Horace Wimp'. The classical influence is very noticeable, with the violins featuring prominently. And who can forget Horace Wimp's 6-day week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday..). Then there's 'Hold on Tight' (to your dreams) and its English and French lyrics (`Accroches-toi a ton reve, accroches-toi a ton reve. Quand tu vois ton bateau partir...'). ELO's debut album was named `The Electric Light Orchestra' in the UK but `No Answer' in the USA. Why? A record company secretary reportedly phoned the UK company to obtain the album name but was unable to do so. So she left a note saying `No answer'. The other album well worth buying is Out Of The Blue - in my opinion, their best album ever. Only three tracks from 'Out of the Blue' are on 'All Over The World: The Very Best of ELO' - Mr Blue Sky, Sweet Talkin' Woman and Wild West Hero - so there is very little replication. A superb album, but don't miss 'Out of the Blue' too.

álbum com as melhores da ELO em um disco muito bem produzido e confeccionado. A arte é linda demais e acompanha um pôster com carta de Jeff. A qualidade do áudio é excelente. 14 dias dos EUA até o RS no Brasil.

私は本アルバムを"Xanadu (New version)"を聴く為に購入しました。私の大好きなオリヴィアが歌った曲をELOだけで歌うとどうなるのか興味津々だったからです。結果としてオリヴィアの歌には敵わずと言ったところでしょうか。 収録協は以下の通り。ビルボード総合シングルチャートの最高位と収録アルバムも記してます。 01.Mr. Blue Sky・・・35位、Out Of The Blue 02.Evil Woman・・・10位、Face The Music 03.Don't Bring Me Down・・・4位、Discovery 04.Sweet Talkin'Woman・・・17位、Out Of the Blue 05.Shine A Little Love・・・8位、Discovery 06.Turn To Stone・・・13位、Out Of The Blue 07.The Diary Of Horace Wimp・・・チャートインせず、Discovery 08.Confusion・・・37位、Discovery 09.Hold On Tight・・・10位、Time 10.Livin' Thing・・・13位、A New World Record 11.Telephone Line・・・7位、A New World Record 12.All Over The World・・・13位、Xanadu 13.Wild West Hero・・・チャートインせず、Out Of The Blue 14.Showdown・・・53位、On The Third Day 15.Ma-Ma-Ma Belle・・・チャートインせず、On the Third Day 16.Xanadu (New version)・・・シングルカットされず、Flashback 17.Rockaria!・・・チャートインせず、A New World Record 18.Strange Magic・・・14位、Face The Music 19.Alright・・・チャートインせず、Zoom 20.Rock 'n' Roll Is King・・・19位、Secret Messages ELOがリリースしたベスト盤の中で本アルバムはUKで500万枚以上売れています。ちなみに79年にリリースされた"ELO's Greatest Hits"はUSで400万枚以上売れましたが、UKでは100万枚でした。 UKでヒットした曲中心で選曲されている為、ビルボードでチャートインしていない曲はそもそもアメリカでシングルカットされていない可能性もありますが、そこまで調査できていません。 ELOはUKでの方が人気があった事は事実ですので、USでの方がヒットした"Can't Get It Out Of My Head"、"Do Ya"、"I'm Alive"やそのものずばりの"Calling America"は残念ながら収録されていません。 "Can't Get It Out Of My Head"は年間チャートでも81位に輝いている曲ですから、いくらUKでは全くヒットしなかったとは言え本アルバムに収録しなかったのは片手落ちでしょう。 ELO初心者の方は本アルバムを買っておけば充分だと思われますが、彼らのヒット曲の総てを聴きたいのであれば、2011年にリリースされた2枚組"The Essential Electric Light Orchestra"をお薦めします。

Jeff Lynne is a musical genius. He created a totally unique sound that is filled with joy and fun to listen to over and over. I love everything he's touched with other artists. What a great CD!
