ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA
LIVE ON AIR 1972
COMPACT DISC DIGI
DESCRIPTION
Lynne’s
sleek symphonic pop pastiche of his 50s and 60s musical heroes has
inevitably stood the test of time considering the legacy and success of
the Electric Light Orchestra. Born on the same West Midlands streets
that spawned the Moody Blues and Black Sabbath, ELO concocted an
altogether different beast where progressive pop met symphonic rock to
create a global success story. These early performances offer a rare
glimpse into what the original vision was for the Electric Light
Orchestra and the journey thereafter with two extremely gifted
songwriters rewriting their own destinies in the process.
London
