Mandalay is a song by the Electric Light Orchestra that was recorded sometime between the years 1982 and 1983. It was intended to be released on the 'Secret Messages' double album but was taken off when the intended album was reduced from a double to a single LP.
This song (and 3 other outtakes - one of whitch had already been released in the UK) were finally released in 1990 as part of the 'Afterglow' box set.

I really don´t understand that ELO´s best songs in the 1980´s Mandalay and Hello My Old Friend don´t appear in any ELO albums. Even in the compilations.
Best of... You know.

ZBQ so nice to see so many ELO -Jeff fans here.,see ya pals. -
If Secret Messages had to be a single album, why didn´t they choose the best songs from the planned double album ?
-
Sounds quite a bit like Macarthur Park. Simon and Garfunkel on synthesizers.
-
I know its ELO and everything, but for a second, I thought it was Roger Waters singing at the start :/ weird
-

When I listened to Without Someone from the Balance of Power album I was thinking what is the song very similar to that song in some parts. Yes, it was based in Mandalay ( then unreleased ). Do you agree ?
-
This song was the very first I commented in Decemeber 2008 when I joined YouTube. The great left- off songs like this from Secret Messages could have been released later in a new album or with Balance of Power as a double album.

Its always good to see someone put up subtitles to the music they plug. ^_^

@FinnMove It's out of print now, you'll be most likely to find it in second-hand music shops or online.
