This box set from Electric Light Orchestra begs the question: was their career really worthy of a three disc box set? They had a bunch of hits, and they also had a slew of really terrific non hits…but I think that three discs is a bit more ELO than the casual fan would need…and the die hard fans would have already owned all of the individual albums. The best disc of the three is the first one, which covers the early days from 1971-1974, with not just the hits but also gems like “Kuiama”, “Mr. Radio” and “Bluebird Is Dead”. This was the period before they became a singles band…and some of the longer tracks are very good. Also included are the full version of “Roll Over Beethoven” and the lesser known hit “Boy Blue”.
Disc two is the more successful era. And while it has some fine tracks (“Jungle” would have been a great addition), it also misses with an inconsistent timeline, fewer of their better non-singles, and a disappointing version of “Mr. Blue Sky”, which omits their fine ending. Disc three covers the end of the band, and their worst albums. It gains points for including songs that were left off of Secret Messages…but loses them back for having them not be up to par with what the band had done before. 18 songs from their last three lackluster albums (where Jeff Lynne had trimmed it down from a full band to just a trio) is a bit too much. There are several shorter and better chosen compilations from this band. This is too much beyond their great material. [First added to this chart: 08/11/2024]
