I'd waited many years to even hear the whole song. Sometimes, I'd catch the middle or the end. Then, not even that, for years at a time. The few times I'd get around to looking for it, a store might have everything but the "new world record" and the greatest hits didn't include it.
Finally, I saw a part of "so fine" from "ultraurbaninnercityskatin," which was great! Then, some month later, fine people posted the whole tune, which I so appreciated.
There is a popular internet myth that Discovery was ELO's disco album hence the title. Its a typical internet myth in that it falls down the minute you actually listen to the album which only has about two uptempo dance tracks. My own theory was always that THIS was JL's early foray into soul funk and it actually shows clearer in this mix; you really hear the disco strings and the fantastic bassline more.
BLIMEY this is a little gem isn't it?

Don't see why this is referred to as a 'rough mix"? Nothing rough about it, imho...

@dogboner2001 Unless it's been mentioned elsewhere here this is an early version of "So Fine" in that it is longer than the LP version.
