Electric Light Orchestra – All Over The World: The Very Best Of…
With a cross between Progressive Pop and Orchestral overtones there is something almost magical about ELO’s sound. Formed in 1970 by Jeff Lynne, Roy Wood and Bev Bevan these guys quickly became a hit making machine. During their original 13 years as a band they sold over 50 million albums worldwide and hold the unfortunate record of having the most billboard top 40 hits without a single number one.
As Summer is coming into full swing this Greatest Hits collection is a perfect one to get the party started or pop on while you have an evening BBQ. Starting as they mean to go on with probably their biggest hit Mr. Blue Sky, which has been used in everything from GOTG Vol.2 to Dr. Who, a track that everyone will have a sing-a-long to. Packed with hit after hit it’s an easy addition to your usual rotations.
Having released several Greatest Hits over the years I think All Over The World is probably the best collection of songs. Featuring massive tracks like ‘Don’t Bring Me Down’ and ‘Livin’ Thing’ there are no bad tracks on this 20-song compilation. So as the Blue Skies return this is one to bring out for any summer situation. Bring home these Rock N’ Roll Hall of Famers and enjoy.
