"All Over The World" sounds like it was recorded live with lots of crowd noise. A very uptempo song with toe-tapping potential!
"Wild West Hero" is another favourite of mine. A little on the slow side which may not appeal to some, but Jeff Lynne's vocals open the song with, yes you ... Read review

1970s, producing a massive string of hit singles and albums that almost any other band would envy. Their works have been cited as influences by such hip acts as Grandaddy and Super Furry Animals. Their frontman and leader Jeff Lynne has been the producer of choice for people like Paul McCartney, Tom Petty and George Harrison. From "Evil Woman", "Don't Bring Me Down" and "Mr Blue Sky" to "Livin' Thing" and "Hold On Tight", there are few duds amongst these 20 remastered tracks. ELO produced some of the biggest and best singles in rock & roll's history, and All Over The World: The Very Best Of ELO is an excellent reintroduction to this great band. Hopefully, this also signals the beginning of a long-overdue revival and re-evaluation. --Robert Burrow

Advantages: Lots of well known tracks, good british music Disadvantages: None
...this track, he managed that all on his own! However, this is a great song all the same. "Don't Bring Me Down" starts with a good strong drumbeat and then the electric guitars kick in and we're away! This is a good track which really shows off Jeff Lynne's wide vocal range, and there are times when he can give Barry Gibb a run for his money. This song could almost have been recorded by Status Quo - very typical of their style of music. "Sweet Talkin' ... ...jumping, bumping and grinding about all over the place (now guys, calm down!) This was in fact the title track to the film and was actually an ELO/Oliver Newton-John duet. "Rockaria" treats us to a little rock opera opening - and then it all kicks off with the guitars and heavy drum beats. I am not too keen on this track and I usually just skip it - but then that's just my opinion. "Strange Magic" has a nice slow opener with Jeff Lynne's dulcet tones. ...

Trip The Light Fantastic Review ofAll Over The World (The Very Best Of The Electric Light Orchestra) - ELOby

Advantages: Great production and re-mastered sounds Disadvantages: A few dud tracks
We all have guilty pleasures that we like to keep secret, we know deep down we shouldn't really enjoy these things but we can't help ourselves, for some it's pot noodles, for others it's watching reality TV shows. Well I'll admit here and now to one of my musical guilty pleasures a liking for 70's popsters ELO (Electric Light Orchestra). It's not that musically ELO were crap, quite the opposite, it's just that they were so pop chart orientated that ... ...a fairly extensive collection of all the ELO hits. As a starting off point for anyone who is interested in getting to know their music it is a fairly good collection. However there are some glaring omissions, the first ever ELO hit '10538 Overture', which best illustrated their early elaborate mix of orchestral style with pop is strangely absent from the track list. In fact none of the tracks off the first album make it on to this compilation. None ...
