	Eldorado Pop New - LP UA-LA339-G United Artists Sealed 1974 Original. Cut Corner. First Sealed Copy We Have Seen In Five Years. Utilizing A Thirty Piece Orchestra For The First Time Which Provided A Much Richer Musical Palette Than The Group Had To Work With Previously, Eldorado Was Their Most Ambitious And Successful Record. Indeed, Eldorado Was Strongly Reminiscent In Some Ways Of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Not That It Could Ever Have The Same Impact Or Be As Distinctive, But It Had Its Feet Planted In So Many Richly Melodic And Varied Musical Traditions, Yet Made It All Work In A Rock Context, That It Did Recall The Beatles Classic. It Was A Very Romantic Work, Especially On The Opening "Eldorado Overture," Which Was Steeped In A Wistful 1920s/1930s Notion Of Popular Fantasy (Embodied In Movies And Novels Like James Hilton's Lost Horizon And Somerset Maugham's The Razor's Edge) About Disillusioned Seekers. It Boasted Lynne's Best Single Up To That Time, "Can't Get It Out Of My Head," Which Most Radio Listeners Could Never Get Out Of Their Respective Heads, Either. The Integration Of The Orchestra Would Become Even More Thorough On Future Albums, But Eldorado Was Notable For Mixing The Band And Orchestra (And A Choir) In Ways That Did No Violence To The Best Elements Of Both.... more details

	Electric Light Orchestra Pop New - LP UAS 5573 United Artists Sealed 1972 Textured, Heavy-Duty Gatefold Original. Tiny Cut Corner. “Electric Light Orchestra's Debut Album Is An Astonishing Creation In Its Own Right, But Neophyte Listeners Should Be Aware That It Bears Very Little Resemblance To The Sound For Which ELO Would Become Known On Its Subsequent Records. No Answer, As It Ended Up Being Called In America Through A Miscommunication With ELO's U.S. Label, Is A Minimalist Work By Comparison With Anything On The Band's Later Albums. The Core Trio Of Roy Wood, Jeff Lynne, And Bev Bevan, Augmented By One Horn Player And A Violinist, Approaches The Music Alternately Like A Hard Rock Band Attacking A Song And A String Ensemble Playing A Chamber Piece. Filled With Surprisingly Loose Playing And Sounds Throughout, And With A Psychedelic Aura Hovering Over Most Of The Music, No Answer Is Unique In ELO's Output. Written And Sung By Lynne, "10538 Overture" Is The Opener And The Best Song On The Album. Wood's "Look At Me Now," By Comparison, Plays Like A Sweet, Melodic Follow-Up To "Beautiful Daughter" From The Move's Shazam, With Some Digressions On The Oboe And A Cello And Violin Subbing For The Guitars. The Rest Moves From Period-Style Popular Songs To Strangely Cinematic Conceptual Pieces, On Which The Rock Elements Almost Disappear In Favor Of Quasi-Classical Playing By All Concerned. A Beautiful Acoustic Guitar Workout By Wood, "1st Movement" Also Features The Song's Composer On The Oboe, While "Mr. Radio," An Exercise In 1920s Nostalgia Written And Sung By Lynne, Digresses For A Moment Into 1940s-Style Classical Piano Pyrotechnics. His "Whisper In The Night" Ends The Album With A Lean And Textured Acoustic Sound That, Ironically, Disappeared From ELO's Repertory When He Exited The Lineup Following These Sessions.” Bruce Eder, AMG.... more details
