Thanks for posting this. I grew up listening to ELO - my dad’s favorite band.

You're quite welcome and I'm delighted that you've found it to be worthwhile.  I think that ELO brings back many fond memories for a lot of us, particularly those of us over thirty or so.  ELO had a boatload of happy, hummable hits with great lyrical and instrumental hooks, the kind that are hard to find nowadays.   They were popular in an era before it became fashionable to 'sample' other people's music, add a drum machine loop and angry, Left-wing lyrics and then call it an 'original musical composition'.

Very few artists write songs that I have trouble getting out of my head because they are so very catchy anymore.
