4 stars Are ELO Prog or not? Well is Prog Boogie and for this fact not 100% Prog. This compilation is indicative in this sense. And for me is also extreme good.

The bast song are: "Mr. Blue Sky", "Evil Woman", "Don't Bring Me Down", "Shine A Little Love", "Confusion'", "All Over The World", "Showdown", "Xanadu", "Rockaria" and "Rock'n'Roll Is King" all extreme good but not Prog (or not totally). In fact the string section transform the Boogie Rock of ELO in a sort of Related Symphonic Prog but too Boogie.

The worst song (and I speak in correctly terms) is "Telephone Line" that not please me.

If you love this type of music this is a 5 star compilation. But for me (correctly) is only a 4 star compilation. Because not Prog. But also because in the shops there are too compilation and live albums of ELO (also in ELO II version).
