Review by Finnforest
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Honorary Collaborator

ELO is one of those bands with the dubious distinction of having more greatest hits/compilation albums than some more legitimate progressive band's total output. They have essentially become a product machine with each new compilation repackaging material that shapes the playlist of every FM classic rock station in America. The fold-out insert does give specific month and year each track was recorded and on what album it first appeared, those kinds of specifics are something I appreciate. There is also a brief band Bio. A reasonable pick for those who just want a few hits without spending much. ELO were a great singles band. But there are more comprehensive compilations out there is one chooses to take a collection over complete albums.
