ELO - 10538 Overture

[MsRoywood]

Bugs me that Roy Wood doesn't sing his bit, it's obviously his voice. Modest as ever.

[1951janchri]

The coming together of cracking artistes....................EL­O original birth of.............OF A FANTASTIC BAND

"No Answer" - that's great! The US version was titled that by mistake. Supposedly, when asked what the album title was, the response was "no answer," in that the album didn't have a title (self-titled.) It may be apocryphal, but it's still a great story.

Great Musik, wow.

[robincjwu]

Great ELO

Wish someone would post a vid of the first tour lineup playing this live.

[ELONut]

I 1st saw them on the Old Grey Whistle Test BBC2,this is the song they played{it was ages ago lol}What a journey their music became.

I have the album with this track somewhere~

thanks for posting.

One of the best songs Lynne ever wrote! The rest of ELO's debut ("No Answer") is one of those inspired monstrosities (like King Crimson's "Lizard") whose sheer strangeness seems better with age.

[sekotser]

@StMikey roy wood was the master behind ELO - Jeff Lynne stole the band from him

[Micktone]

@sekotser Right you are!!!!
