The Best of ELO

Review Score: (10/10)
This is probably my favorite ELO disk and may be my all time favorite disk period. I saw ELO in concert twice, the first time at Glassboro State College just after Roll Over Beethove hit the charts and the second time in Phila during the Out of the Blue tour. At the Phila concert, when the top of the flying saucer began to rise with the lasers and strobes flashing, I could not believe my eyes and ears, what a rush. This is the ultimate ELO disk. It has that fantastic mix of driving rock and classical from the fertile mind of Jeff Lynn and company which gave ELO their unique sound. If you want to sample ELO, this is the disk to get.
