Electric Light Orchestra - Long Black Road

'Long Black Road' is a brilliant song by the Electric Light Orchestra. This song is currently only available as a bonus track on the Japanese version of Zoom.

I have just been reminded that Zoom could be re-released sometime in the future. If this goes ahead, 'Long Black Road' will finally be available worldwide, along with the unreleased outtakes. Fingers crossed this happens...

As with most of the Zoom tracks, Jeff Lynne plays all the instruments.

I thought he sings, "You're gonna have to take all the trouble in stride." IMO, it makes more sense. No offense.

@no1elofaniknow None taken, I see what you mean, but I actually got the lyrics from the Zoom liner notes and checked them over, so they should be right as they are shown.

@laineycrusoe You must have the Japanese release of Zoom?

[laineycrusoe]

@no1elofaniknow Yeah, I have. The Japanese version has an extra set of liner notes - in Japanese, apart from several bits, including this song's lyrics.

"Jeff's lost his balls." "Jeff's lost his way." To the naysayers I say stick this raw, edgy, hard rock song in your craw and chew.

@SVB2002 Jeff's playing the bass on this song too. That bass riff just before Jeff sings "Made a lotta money - I was makin' quite a mess..." is sa-WEET!

[SVB2002]

This song is so hard rock crunchy! Nasty! Jeff Lynne hasn't written a song like this since Poker back on Face the Music. Best guitar work since that song as well.
