ELDORADO
180g vinyl
New & Sealed
'To pick up where "I Am The Walrus" left off'; that was the goal when Electric Light Orchestra formed in the early seventies.
They wanted to steep different music styles in a rock tradition and mix in some Beatlesque pop, but it took Jeff Lynne & co until their third albumEldorado to get on the right track. Their most ambitious album to date, they decided to hire a 30 piece orchestra and choir to fill out their sound, and the investment paid off.
With the unforgettable "Can't Get It Out Of My Head" as the lead single, Eldorado was a commercial as well as a critical success, and it would achieve gold status in the US. 'The English guys with the big fiddles' had arrived!
