A New World Record by Electric Light Orchestra

Send a text

Released in 1976, this was the moment Jeff Lynne’s vision snapped into clarity. After years of experimenting with the marriage of rock and classical textures, ELO arrived here with a confidence and cohesion they’d never quite captured before. What you hear across this record is not a band searching for their identity but one fully in command of it — glam-infused, orchestral, and brightly melodic, yet never overwhelmed by its own ambition.
