12 Inch LP
To pick up where >I Am The Walrus< left off, that was the goal when Electric Light Orchestra formed in the early seventies. They wanted to steep different music styles in a rock tradition and mix in some Beatlesque pop, but it took Jeff Lynne & co until their third album Eldorado to get on the right track. Their most ambitious album to date, they decided to hire a 30 piece orchestra and choir to fill out their sound, and the investment paid off. With the unforgettable >Cant Get It Out Of My Head< as the lead single, >Eldorado< was a commercial as well as a critical success, and it would achieve gold status in the US. The English guys with the big fiddles had arrived! Audiophile pressing on heavyweight 180 grams vinyl.
