Pros: The true beginnings of ELO's highly successful mix of Orchestra Pop-Rock.
Cons: Nothing here as catchy as the stuff ELO would soon dominate the charts with.

Pros: Eldorado, nuff said!
Cons: that Jeff Lynne refuses to write great stuff like this anymore

I've just written a review for Discovery and the ELO Kiddies will hate me for it but so what? This album on the other hand ,well its like comparing The Beatles to Westlife (For U.S readers 'westlife are a sucky boy band')
ie: No Comparison!.
Jeff Lynne at his greatest before he sold out to that discovery/xanadu junk . Marvelous sound, play loud and proud and damn the neighbours! A Golden dream of a disc!
