Jeff Lynne’s ELO, “Wembley Or Bust” (Sony Music)- This live “greatest hits” package was recorded at ELO’s Wembley Stadium extravaganza a few months ago, when 60,000 adoring punters were regaled with the cream of the band’s illustrious back catalogue. ELO was originally the brainchild of The Move’s hirsute singer and guitarist Roy Wood, but when their creative driving force left the fold in 1972 Jeff Lynne took over the leadership of this trailblazing outfit and their instantly identifiable fusion of rock, pop and classical music has gone on to achieve worldwide record sales in excess of 50 million. Their unashamedly commercial brand of symphonic pop is enjoying something of a renaissance these days, and there’s certainly no denying the enduring appeal of crowd-pleasing concoctions such as “Livin’ Thing,””Mr.Blue Sky” and their 1975 hit,”Evil Woman.” – By Kevin Bryan.
