    Thanks for the reaction. Jeff Lynne, the lead singer/songwriter, producer and guiding light of ELO, also did a lot as part of The Traveling Wilburies. He was the first lead vocal on the TW song you did yesterday. He produced and arranged them also. And he is *the* lead vocalist for ELO. You’ll eventually get it, I’m sure. Another 50-100 songs of ELO 😊

      Living through the 60s and 70s, we had some interesting telephone experiences. We were on a party line for a while. Basically, we shared a phone line with at least one other household(please don't listen,right?). Rotary dials and everything. Wrote down or memorized your friends phone number. Sometimes, voices sounded like that. I'm so glad I lived through that time period, musically, and everything else. Great reaction. As usual.

    This song released in 1976 - I was twenty five and loving life with my little wifey and two little kids...When I hear songs like this - from that era of my own life - I can see the clothes I wore, the smells I smelled , the voices of family, co-workers, neighbors. It is truly a trip down memory lane. A busy life is a happy life because you just don't have time to think about whether or not you're happy. And now 47 years have gone by seemingly in a flash. The paradoxical nature of aging - in youth I got so very much done in a day - today it seems to take all day to accomplish one thing. Go figure. While listening to the song in this video I briefly relived days, times long gone by...I miss them like I miss my youth - but I am happy for having lived them.

      Can’t Get It Out Of My Head definitely. Shine A Little Love not so much for me. The Discovery album that it’s from was not one of my favorites because it didn’t really sound like ELO with its disco style songs. I didn’t hate disco but it didn’t seem right for ELO.
      However A New World Récord that Telephone Line is from is probably my favorite ELO album. The last song Shangri-La is great.

    HI, GUYS!! Jeff Lynne was in the video you watched with The Traveling Wilburys!! Predominate members of the Wilburys: Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, George Harrison, & Bob Dylan. I think, after George passed away, his son, Dahni Harrison also sang with them. Jeff Lynne is an EXTREMELY talented person, as well as all the members of ELO!! GREAT RABBIT HOLE to go down! Hope ya'll are having a GREAT WEEK! HUGS!! j* ❤❤❤❤❤

    Jeff Lynne's a genius! Such a heartbreaking song, he's just trying to phone his special someone to tell them how much he cares, but they can't, or won't, answer. The string arrangement with all the sweeps is just perfect.

      The dial tone is the ISD tone between Britain and the USA number. If I remember correctly off A New World Record, the name inspired by the Moscow Olympics. It would play every Friday night at the Elephant and Castle pub in Sussex St, Sydney. Shit they were great times!!!

    This song reminds me of my late big sister, can't hear it without crying, it was always on the radio when she'd be putting on her makeup getting ready for a date and I'd lay on her bed begging her not to go cuz I'd miss her. ELO is really something so special and had so much to do with a lot of the music in Xanadu which you both liked and mentioned you have to react to the movie... been waiting for that one. 😃

      Around the same for me - was UK Year 7 (11-12) with Xanadu (then Discovery) for me but the one that blew my mind was the "Time" concept album (I was 13-14 in UK Year 9). I played that to death - especially "Here is the News" which appealed to teenage angst for some reason! Was into the Asia supergroup as well at the time (had the logo on my denim jacket). If you're feeling piss3d with your parents, "My Own Time (I'll do what I want)" is a great track to play! (czcams.com/video/xZX44KEYw-w/video.html) 🥰

      @@Cosmo-Kramer Oh, absolutely! I'm a massive Rush and prog-rock fan. Was introduced to Rush in UK Year 6 (10-11) which was 1977-78 for me (yeah I'm that old!) + Deep Purple + Rainbow + Magnum + lots more heavy metal/rock in the same year! Mum and Dad thought I'd turned into an insane wild-child! I just love decent music 🥰. I love rocking Rush tracks like "Fly by Night", "Limelight", "Working Man" and "By-Tor and the Snow Dog". Maybe surprisingly my favourites are the quieter ones like "Time Stand Still", "Tears", "Rivendell" and "Closer to the Heart". Also also love epic prog rock tracks like "Xanadu", "The Necromancer", "Hemispheres" and of course "2112". I'd play a LOUD track like "AC/DC" - "Highway to Hell" or "Magnum" - "Steal Your Heart" to annoy parents. I'm good at electronics and built my own class AA amp (REAL 150W/channel - 8" woofers - capable of handling 250W) as a teenager. I used to wait until parents were out then shook my windows! My electric guitar sounded brilliant through it ♥. How about you? What do you like?

    Listening to this, you have to remember phones were attached to walls by literal telephone lines. I also believe this was pre-answering machines. Collect calls, having to time your phone calls depending on when the rate changed. Back then making phone calls were more complex, today it is always in your pocket.

    Give the track “Hello My Old Friend” from the Secret Messages album (originally a B-side but restored to the album on remasters since 2014) a listen. It’s an experience. Every track is, but that one always has stood out to me, even beyond their singles / radio hits.
