Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:
The Electric Light Orchestra were one of the biggest and most successful bands of the late 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

- Ideal gift for family and friendsGreat original under-rated band and song-writer, buy this if you're quite new to their unique sound and then splash out on the individual fantastic CDs, then try the Travelling Wilburys!

- JEFF LYNNE - HE WANTED TO BE THE 70's BEATLESMuch like comtemporaries ABBA the Electric Light Orchestra were often derided during their recording career as manufacturers of shallow, chart friendly pop. ELO supremo Jeff Lynne's obvious obsession with all things Fab Four related saw him cast as a desparate Beatles wanna-be with a beard, bad perm and sunglasses.
Now though times have changed. Everyone from the Feeling to the Divine Comedy site the Brummie band as a massive influence and even the once harsh critics fawned over the recent ... Read More

- Childhood Memories Bathed in Golden LightI love ELO. They bring back memories of a very happy childhood in the 1970s and the power and beauty of the work still shines very strongly today. I find it very emotional listening to them having lost my mother very recently and "Mr Blue Sky" transports me back to a golden summer day in the late 70s with all the joys of being a boy-child with forests, bikes and love all around. Music is all about memories and glory and ELO provide both with abundance.
Rating:
- Original, magical, nostalgicThe fact that Mr Blue Sky is one of the most used TV ad and film songs, is indicative of what ELO do: theiy give you exactly what it says on the tin and they do it in a unique way that combines falsetto, electronic experimentation, Jeff Lynne and superb album covers.
The Diary Of Horace Wimp is a stroke of genius: as far as I'm aware there is no other song comparable to it in structure or tone. Telephone Line is simple and beautiful, and Wild West Hero an oddity but an immaculate and ... Read More

- Awesome bandI listened to this music as I was growing up...liked it then but probably never gave it too much consideration...busy climbing trees, riding bikes etc.
Listening to it now though really brings home how awesome this band were...great writing, great delivery bringing us a living definition of 'timeless classics'.
Underrated? I don't think so... for me, and I guess many others, this music is part of an exclusive list of tracks that will always define a time and a place in our lives.
