I have heard ELO's music in the past.....never really thinking about the words too much, or about the musical arrangement. It was just background music, that was fun to sing along to and up beat. I have now started listening to ELO more and more to where I have become obsessed with the music. Jeff Lynne is a master at writing and arranging hit songs for himself and others! I have gotten all the proper studio albums and still have an appetite for more! This CD quenches the thirst for songs on the studio albums that are above the rest on their respected albums and deserve their proper due in a very best of cd. This CD is a companion to "All Over The World". That hits cd covered the radio play hits. This cd contains the deep cuts that have not gotten radio airplay or are not as popular but have been good songs. The cd actually claims Jeff picked these songs himself. It sounds wonderful and takes all tracks off the remastered cd album releases. If you like ELO and bought All Over The World very best cd, then do yourself a favor and get this one as a companion. These 2 cd's beat half of the hits packages the companies have put out over the years and it contains the remamstered songs in brilliant sound!!
