The sound quality is fine. So is this track.

Still unique and recognizable... but... bad.

The vocals remind me of this:
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeee!

...and I find them really annoying!

 
I'm not sure I agree with you, but you sure made me laugh! {#Roflol}

There's another one that doesn't get enough airplay.

Twice during the intro I had to mute the feed because I thought it was my car alarm going off. It's been giving me trouble lately, and sounds just like whatever the hell that is in this song.

Are you trying to make those of us who remember ELO when they were a new group feel OLD??
How about ELO when it was the Move w/ Roy Wood? "Hello, Susie" indeed!

I agree completely.

Must agree.
Wonderful to hear something I left behind on Cassette many years ago. Saw ELO on their Time tour in Dec 1981 at Ingliston Showground, Edinburgh - they sure knew how to put on a show. Keep up the good work Bill.
Brings back memories.....

Let's face it, next to Bach pretty much all popular music sounds cheesy. Truly a hard act to follow.

Me too.
Dog gone! Another one of my uploads that got rejected, then gets added later. My percentage sure would be better if this didn't happen so often. Oh well... at least it made it somehow.

As much as I've tried not to like this band (it's my dad's favorite, and I've had to listen to every ELO song loud throughout my formative years), I can't help but LOVE Jeff and almost all his stuff!

Nice segue from Toccata in D minor!

It's been years..
Wow, this seems a little obscure. But, a great seque from Bach.
Nice segue from Toccata in D minor!
