Sony. 2005. The Electric Light Orchestra were one of the biggest and mostsuccessful bands of the late 1970s, producing a massive string of hit singlesand albums that almost any other band would envy. Their works have been citedas influences by such hip acts as Grandaddy and Super Furry Animals. Theirfrontman and leader Jeff Lynne has been the producer of choice for people likePaul McCartney, Tom Petty and George Harrison. From “Evil Woman”, “Don’t BringMe Down” and “Mr Blue Sky” to “Livin’ Thing” and “Hold On Tight”, there arefew duds amongst these 20 remastered tracks. ELO produced some of the biggestand best singles in rock & roll’s history, and All Over The World: The VeryBest Of ELO is an excellent reintroduction to this great band. Hopefully, thisalso signals the beginning of a long-overdue revival and re-evaluation.–Robert Burrow
