If fact ElO's Do Ya was first recorded as a 45 and on the Move lp Split Ends. This lp is a must have for ELO fans. More trivia: the 1st ELO lp was actually the Move!!! Before the Move Jeff Lynne was in another Birmingham band called the Idle Race. The progression from the Idle Race to the Move to ELO is a facinating journey that all ELO fans should know about!!!

And expand thier knowledge of classic artists. Sounds like you have quite a collection!! And Jeff Lynne does derserve more recognition for his talents.

We heard Mr. Blue Sky on the radio and went out and bought a copy of it on a 45 single. I'm 45 now, and have been hooked ever since. I have Discovery on LP, and on CD. I have Afterglow, which I'm very protective of. I have all the Greatest Hits, Out of The Blue, OLE/EDO, A New World Record. My absolute favorite song is Wild West Hero. But, here is what is the true indicator of musical genius. It stands the test of time. My 14 year old son is hooked. He took my Afterglow albums, got them on iTunes, and now he listens to ELO more than he listens to 2009 rock or pop music. ELO music is showing up in commercials everywhere. Mr. Blue Sky was kind of obvious, but I think I have clearly heard the intro to Showdown, and possibly a couple of others out there. Finally, I REALLY think that Jeff Lynne could move this music into the Symphony Hall and into the Band Halls of America, getting yet another generation hooked on ELO, and making it "Classical" music. It's that good, and Jeff deserves the recognition of not just being a rock music genius, but an all-time music genius, up there with Mozart and Tchaikovsky. That's my two cent's worth. Jeff, go get this great music into the Symphony Halls and Band Halls of America and Europe, so it can be heard for the next 200 years!
