2LP - 150 gram

For the first time ever, Electric Light Orchestra’s Secret Messages will be released as a double album, as originally conceived by Jeff Lynne in 1983. This 2LP release adds six tracks to its running order, all available for the first time on LP. Equally flush with cutting-edge synthesizers as well as up-front guitar mastery, Secret Messages is quintessential, world-class techno pop-rock. Jeff Lynne’s eclectic collection of self-written, self-produced songs (including the international hit “Rock ‘N’ Roll Is King”) ranges from raucous to romantic, all the while maintaining ELO’s peerless musicianship.

The Electric Light Orchestra were one of the biggest and most successful bands of the late 1970s and have sold well over 5 MILLION albums in the UK alone - producing a massive string of hit singles and albums along the way.  From "Evil Woman", "Don't Bring Me Down" and "Mr Blue Sky" to "Livin' Thing" and “Sweet Talkin’ Woman", this 2LP / 20 track VERY BEST OF compilation contains a string of hits that most bands would envy, and is an excellent introduction (or re-introduction!) to this legendary band. This is the first time the album has been available on vinyl and it collects 20 of the band’s biggest hits on 2 LPs. This will be printed on black vinyl in a gatefold sleeve. The artwork for this title has been updated and looks better than ever!
