I'll cop to owning some vinyl from these guys. I also saw them in concert in the seventies (I think they opened for Queen)

I'm glad to hear others enjoy them. What made me happy listening to the cd is that their music has aged well. It's still as good today as it was then.

Jeff Lynne was the force behind ELO. That and everything else he was involved in was great. His work with the traveling Wilburys was very good. He also has done a lot of good work as a producer. They kinda jumped the shark with Xanadu the music was still good but the movie awful.
