Great music, terrible audio,
By
This review is from: Strange Magic Best Of (Audio CD)
By 1995, most vintage, a.k.a "dinosaur", rock, began receiving much needed remaster makeovers. So, in 1995, ELO didn't make the cut, until 2001 when Legacy by way of Epic by way of Sony decided to remaster and re-release ELO's classic albums and compile a single CD retrospective entitled "The Essential ELO", which really isn't all that essential. Without the necessary makeover/remaster, "Strange Magic" resonates mostly tape hiss and two-dimensional phonics; therefore, this is not the CD master any casual or any dedicated fan should be seeking.If you enjoy much of ELO's popular singles and wish to try a more aesthetic studio outing, then begin with the beautiful and wistful "Eldorado" (1974). Although lacking in sonic perfection yet harnessing great material, "Strange Magic" is more intended for those listening to CDs on a budget-priced boombox.

The Greatest Of ELO!,

This review is from: Strange Magic Best Of (Audio CD)
This is your chance to get the full measure of the Electric Light Orchestra. This was one of the most enchanting bands in the last twenty years.During this time they spun out hit after hit.This CD captures the magic that was Electric Light Orchestra.You have hit songs"Evil Woman","Strange Magic","Do Ya","Blue Sky" and the many other smash hits that made this band one of the biggest groups of the 1970's and 1980's.This is a very good coverage of their career. If you are a fan of this group you should definitely get this CD.

Stange Magic!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Strange Magic Best Of (Audio CD)
ELO will be best remembered (along with The Moody Blues) to combine rock and classical music together thrown in with the music of the day (like "Shine A Little Love" from 1979 has some disco flavor in it). Jeff Lynne wrote/produced virtually all their hits. The great thing about this anthology is it's ideal for the ELO fan and the casual fan. The ELO fan will bring this collection along when traveling 70 miles/hour on the interstate and turn up the volume! The causal fan will only need this to get a better completion of hits than on other hit collections (like "ELO Classics" is NOT a complete hit nor portrait of ELO). Plus, the booklet is very informative as to how ELO started and has a detailed discography.
