sounds like Flash Gordon's soundtrack jejejejejee

[XanaduPreservation]

I would have to second that idea, my friend!

[SonOfSam1976]

Indeed. It's not HQ Audio. But I couldn't find it elsewhere. So thanks

[XanaduPreservation]

This was lifted from the audio of a (probibly) 5th generation VHS, hence the non-HD quality. But, hey, go with what you got....or until they officialy put this out on a special edition of the soundtrack. Providing that if the CD format tanks first.

ELO were the biggest thing on the planet at this time!

[pinkandjefflynne]

Jeff = God, simple as that

[Thrive7]

Almost sounds like the original, but sped-up. It's a song good enough that Lynne might and ought to re-do (re-master) for something soon.

[crazysingingchick]

Amazing! Jeff Lynne is one of the best tenors out there. :)

[Napriz1]

BonelessSausage I agree with you! Hahahaha!

But I think in this version Jeff's voice sounds better.

@XanaduPreservation A special edition of the soundtrack? After all these years (and, I think, three editions of it) I'd settle for one that just includes the B-sides of the 45's. What's wrong with Universal that they can figure that out?

[nosferatu49]

Yes, you're right!!!

OR i WOULD SAY :

GOD has finaly a name : Jeff Lynne

Simply as that, indeed!!

[billyboi57]

I have to say that notwithstanding what the critics had to say about Xanadu when it was released, it really would have been a bomb with the music of Jeff lynne and ELO.

[phoenixrising113]

This is definitely the version in the trailer!

[BonelessSausage]

@DevilDave59 Sounds like the Chipmunks doing ELO.

[Dalquaz]

I need to both know the whole story behind this and own a copy on CD. These ELO songs last forever.
