(1992
/ Scotti Bros Records / 72392 75269-2 /U.S.)
This album
unfortunately failed to capture the excitement that was generated during
the maiden tour of the UK with an 85 piece
symphony orchestra from
Moscow!
The recording
shines in places and falls flat in others which actually was not the case
according to many of the fans
who attended the shows.
Amazingly,
many of the
highlights were left out including a rip roaring version of "Back In
The USSR!"
Produced
by Jeff Glixman. |
(1994
/ Edel /
0096 102ULT / Germany)
The first
ELO Part Two album to be released in Australia via Sony
Music during Part Two's visit in 1995.
It's nothing
short of a miracle that this fine album made it to number 82 on the Aussie
charts
without any major promotion.
The record
company made an obvious decision to push 'The Very Best Of ELO' in favour
of new material from the new band.
Produced
by Stephan Galfas. |
(1996
/ SPV Records /
SPV 089 44072 / Germany)
Recorded
live during the two Sydney shows (18th and 19th
March 1995) and released first in
Germany.
It took
three years for this double album to be released in Australia!
A lost opportunity
to promote the band after the tremendous success of the March '95 tour
where they entertained close to
65,000 Australians!
Even on the bands return in '98, the record company didn't promote the
live album.
Produced
by Phil Bates and
Chris Tsangarides. |
