    Am I the only one who thinks this is not a good pressing? I mean the dynamics are perfect and all, but the volume is kinda low?

        I can hardly believe it but I hear it with my ears. LA Style "James Brown is Dead" 1991 came from ELO "So Fine". That's amazing! But to think, in order to make a head banging 1991 rave track, they had to listen to this.... I'm sorry, I'm not a fan of this kind of music, but I'm glad someone else was so they could rip this sample and make the heavy metal of techno out of it. Cheers to you LA Style!

          A really fantastic record, very emotional and poignant. Takes me back to 1976.

          I had this on LP shortly after it was released. Many years later, around 2010 or so, I finally bought the CD. Had to return it, because every track was actually the same track (maybe the first one, i don't for sure). It was one of the weirdest errors I've ever seen. Does anyone else know which release this was?

            the bass is well extended on this release for me this is the pinnacle of excellence for ELO an amazing album in many ways everything we love of the band is on this album

              It's tragic how the one perfect way of capturing physical sound is also susceptible to physical degeneration. I feel like the imperfections in the audio actually add to this particular song, however.
              Here i want to share one more record. Franky Zapata Set a New World Record for Hover Board Travel http://attractivereview.com/2016/05/02/franky-zapata-set-a-new-world-record-for-hover-board-travel/
