I've been enjoying this cd, had forgotten what a good beat and lively sound it had! A few songs with that disco beat but this is good stuff!

Another one?

"This is the third hits collection put out by Legacy for ELO. The third time's a charm, right? Well, almost. I guess if I were a big fan of ELO, I'd grab 2000's 3CD Flashback collection. Granted in 2003, The Essential ELO was released with 15 songs, but this latest collection has 20. For some reason, some of the 'Essential' songs aren't the very best, because they have been omitted.



All of that aside, getting 20 hits by one of the most progressive rock bands of the seventies ain't so bad. Some of the effects heavy numbers will make you chuckle due to their use of primitive electronic effects. All and all, this collection packs all you need to know about ELO. You'll be surprised at how many song you actually know too.

Why isn't Amazon listing the American version?

"This CD is great, but as has already been mentioned, Amazon is not listing the American release, which came out on August 2. Everybody else seems to have it. Why not Amazon? It's an awesome overview of ELO's career, from the early 70s right up into 2001's "Alright." I love the fresh new sound that these songs have on this release and the cover is really cool. While I appreciate that Jeff Lynne wrote some new notes for the CD booklet, I wish he could have written more. Many of the songs you love are here, like "Mr. Blue Sky" and "Turn to Stone" and "Livin' Thing." There aren't many ballads here, but the beautiful "Strange Magic" certainly is a highlight. There are also some lesser known songs like the crunchy "Ma-Ma-Ma Belle" and the British hit, "Wild West Hero." A lot of folks may not even know that ELO did some of these songs, but for me, it's like the soundtrack of my life from the 70s and 80s. Gotta love it!"
