A hit album from the early to mid-period packed with ELO's best hits.
This album is a collection of the band's best songs from 1973 to 1978. It's a best-of album released just before ELO's string of explosive hits began, and features a quality sound that incorporates strings, while still being a prog rock album before the introduction of programmed sounds.
Jeff Lynne's songwriting, which has a unique charm that captures the listener, is filled with admiration for the Beatles. Only those who have listened to the last song, "Mr. Blue Sky," can understand the afterglow.
