Discovery

Best album they ever made by a mile who cares Mr blue sky's not on there

Perfect it's as if it was new .

Now I already have the best of ELO - because there are alot of great records - so I didnt really need to get this did I?OF COURSE I DID!Discovery is without doubt confirmed as one of my go to albums - and for me is the one ELO album I need to have.Very much a huge part of my growing up - part of my early 80s soundtrack, the flow of tracks on this record are essential to mepersonally. Whilst Im aware Im completely subjectively looking at this record in a 5 star way - the thing which makes merebel against all the ELO naysayers with this album is how well its stands up compared to listening to any ELO best ofs.The sound of the record is beautiful - beautifully produced - the order of tracks are way more preferable than say the Essential mix....and for me there's not a weak track on the record. - Need her love and midnight blue fore example tend not to get a good run in on any best ofrecords for a start - but I kid you not, i think this album in terms of its flow and the artwork feels like a fresh and mythical daisysitting amongst all ELO's other great bunches of stuff. Ok, ok...Im getting a bit over excited just like I did with Clannad's take on Robin Hoodwith Legend.........but for me these albums have that essential charm and artistry - the ability to wrap you in a warm blanketof early 80s warmth - mainly because the music is touching and fantastically realised (in both cases! I highly recommend Clannadsalbum too of course!)With some music context can be everything - especially if you grew up with that record - but still if you are an ELO newbyget this - maybe try and get on vinyl or cassette (proper 80's styleee!) - play it loud - and just check your face by the end of it - because I bet your mouth is wide open in astonishment....just like mine is everytime I listen to it - metaphorically speaking of course..........

I was always a fan of ELO during the late 70s and Out of the blue was the first album I ever bought. Discovery was an album I had bought on vinyl when it first came out and I played it to death. But you know how it goes, it soon got scratched and jumping songs became the soundtrack to my teenage life. I don’t have a turntable anymore, so CD or MP4 are the choices of today. I had completely forgotten about some of the tracks and it was great to hear them again. All the popular ones such as Confusion, Horace Wimp and Last train to London were just as fresh as the first time I heard them. I thought I knew all the Electric Light Orchestra songs, but Little town flirt was new to me and I just have to play it over and over. What a ‘Discovery’ that is!

Electric Light Orchestra were part of my young womanhood. Together withwith the 'Out of the Blue' album, it was required listening at home and on holiday, in the car and on long journeys throughout Europe, and I rediscovered both albums re-released on CD some years ago and bought them again then with relish. Returning from living in a foreign country for some years, several years ago, 'Discovery' was misplaced. This was unthinkable and I have just bought a new copy. Listening to the whole album is to be instantly transported down the years to my lost youth, and yet, to my ears, the music sounds as good as any anything anybody produces today. Favourite tracks are the poignant 'Need Her Love' and 'Midnight Blue', but who could not be cheered by 'The Diary of Horace Wimp or 'Don't Bring Me Down'.Several niggles. My copy came with the artwork paper reversed so that the album appeared to possibly be ELO in concert and had me dithering over whether to return the CD for exchange, when it was simply a matter of reversing the leaflet, and also the addition of the demos of 'On the Run' and 'Second Time Around' and also 'Little Town Flirt' which were certainly not included on the original vinyl and add nothing to what is otherwise an absolutely fab album.

I have a memory of me, sitting on the settee, listening to our new ELO album. We were in our 20s and we loved this. We have it on vinyl and I wanted to put it on my iPods so I bought the CD. Worth every penny of the less than £4 I spent. I would highly recommend this CD to anyone, young and old alike (although the young ones would probably think it dated). My favourite tracks are Last Train To London, Confusion and I Need Her Love. Oh, how it takes me back!

I was a foreign student living in Birmingham when this album was released in the year 1979. Many of the songs in this album were aired over the local radio station frequently. I purchased a copy in cassette format upon returning home and the copy has since worn out. I have a few favorite tracks in this album but Last Train To London stands out. I also prefer this album more than Out Of The Blue that I have in vinyl. I purchase this audio CD to reminisce the good memories I had while living in Birmingham. Very nostalgic.

This cd takes me back to my younger years ...Epic stuff and every single track is an absolute classic...a 200% definite buy and collectors piece.

Jeff Lynne. He makes great music, he knows what he's doing. He always has. This is a fine addition to any ELO collection if you don't have it yet.

Para mi gusto una de las mejores producciones de ELO, las canciones, el diseño y el sonido, lo hacen único, vale la pena la compra.
