oleg , спасибо за сигнал! Мне понравилось название рубрики: "Легенды Века" И анонс по делу, без сантиментов. Часом не ты подсказал?
А почему 7 ноября? У нас коммунисты любят ELO?
Каналу 100тв я не подсказал, но, судя по тому, что было написано в анонсе, на канале 100тв разбираются во всех перипетиях, происходящих с группой “Electric Light Orchestra”.

DVDrip видео-альбома "Discovery", выпускавшегося как бонус к концерту 'Out Of The Blue' (неремастированное, первое DVD-издание 1989г. Переиздание видео 'Discovery' больше не выходило). Общий объём рипа около 800 mb, качество картинки не уступает DVD-шному. Для удобства рип поколол на отдельные треки. В копилку тем, у кого вдруг нет!
Вне всяких сомнений, Володь! Я твёрдо знаю, что точно есть люди, которым это интересно (Ради Лены уже стоит стараться ) Только, к сожалению, мало пишут и порой сами не знают о присутствии единомышленников. Тут совсем недавно на одном релизе по ELО прочёл грустный риторический вопрос человека, что, мол, почему ни у кого это не вызывает интереса, неужели команда перестала быть популярной и кроме него уже никто не отзывается и не интересуется? Ошибается старина. Зашёл бы на сайт Натальи или сюда - повеселее глядел бы на жизнь

Выложил по просьбе на родственном форуме сборник, который делал для себя. Включает бонусы с тройника Flashback, ремастированного Xanadu (где ELO), некоторые бонусы с поздних ремастированных переизданий номерных альбомов, и несколько вещей, которым не нашлось места на ремастерах. Первая вещь - вступление с альбома "Face The Music", только пущенное не задом наперёд, как на альбоме, а нормальным ходом, соединённое с бонусом "Quick And Daft' с ремастера OOTB. Второй трек - ремикс, где припевы вынесены в конец песни. Неизвестная предпоследняя песня - демо жуткого качества, найдена в сети, и нет никаких официальных подтверждений авторству Линна, но мне показалось, что что-то в ней есть. Пусть каждый решает сам для себя. Сканы в комплекте.

Совершенно неожиданно ЭЛО попало в новости относящиеся к главному американскому спортивному событию.Наверно,все началось с того,что Будвайзер решил использовать в своей рекламе на супербоуле(финал в лиге американского футбола) "Don't Bring Me Down".Это для янки совсем не рядовое событие,выступать в перерыве супербоула это большая честь для любого артиста,среди них были и сер Пол и Том с Хартбрейкерс.А один блогер представил себе ,что там отлично могли бы выступить ЭЛО.
Electric Light Orchestra: “Don’t Bring Me Down” played during an ad last night, and I’ve been hearing the group more and more on classic-rock stations. Increasingly, it feels like Jeff Lynne’s synthetic, symphonic outfit is being revised into a Great Seventies Band, as opposed to a stock one. Ideal setlist: “Mr. Blue Sky,” “Sweet Talkin’ Woman,” “Boy Blue,” “Don’t Bring Me Down,” “Telephone Line,” “Evil Woman,” with accompaniment by the New York Philharmonic and 39 NASA scientists.

Димка,я думаю у нас отлично связь налажена.Самое главное,что есть желание поделиться с небезразличными людьми,а соберемся тогда поделимся ещё лучше.Запись, кстати вполне зачетная.74 год....Джефф без очков,Эдвардс и Хью на месте,Тенди только клавишные освоил.Понятно,почему Джеффа называют одним из главных битломанов,как они дали Day Tripper.Кстати,Джефф по моему играл на Гибсоне.

Наш французский коллега Nicolas Guibert нашел два замечательных интервью с музыкантами,которые в разное время работали вместе с Джеффом.
Первое интервью с ROGER SPENCER.Он барабанил в Nightriders и Idle Race,а также потом успел поработать с Келли.
Roger Ollie Spencer interview
Roger 'Ollie' Spencer was the drummer with The Idle Race. This Birmingham-based band was a key link in the formation of The E.L.O. Jeff Lynne was in their line-up for several years and their main songwriter. Others, such as Roy Wood and The Move and Viv Stanshall and The Bonzos, were in their inner circle of friends. Their material was eccentrically English and almost parochially Brummie in some ways, drawing on influences such as music hall, fairgrounds and showbiz. The band was very popular with influential DJs such as Kenny Everett and John Peel, and with musicians such as George Harrison. Nevertheless, despite this impressive 'patronage' the band failed to chart and so remained merely a cult band, albeit a hugely impressive one, with a big local Birmingham following and a wider following amongst 'those in the know'.
When Jeff formed the E.L.O, Ollie moved into stand-up comedy and was seen on Tiswas, Granada TV's The Comedians and, more recently, in the clubs and venues of the mid-shires and on cruises, strutting his stuff as a jobbing comedian. Still in touch with the other members of The Idle Race, and still very proud of his work with Jeff and the band, this is the interview Ollie gave to Digger at www.retrosellers.com
Digger: Hello Ollie, how are you?
Ollie: Hello Dave. Good, very good.
Digger: You seem to be busier than ever?
Ollie: SaturdayТs always a heavy day for me, but IТm fine.
Digger: YouТre doing very well for a man of your age, if you donТt mind me saying so! (Both laugh) Back to the questions!. when, how and why did you start drumming?
Ollie: My dad was a drummer in bands. After the war, he formed a dance band and was stationed at Cranwell, which is where Charlie (Prince Charles) went. During the war he worked there as a fitter on Spitfires and Hurricanes.
Digger: Terrific!
Ollie: There was an outfit there called The Squadronaires which he became a fan of. And when he left the mob Ц a good singer was me dad with a nice clear voice - he formed a band so there was always a kit in the house. So I took it upstairs in the bathroom and pushed the bass drum against the bath sideways so as it wouldnТt move and thatТs how I started.
Digger: Did you get any formal training?
Ollie: Not really. I had a few lessons to get me going. There used to be a music shop in Birmingham called YardleyТs in the sixties...
Digger: Yeah, IТve heard of YardleyТs.
Ollie: ... And the guy from there gave me some lessons. Quite formalised but, fair play, he got me started. I was left-handed, which was quite a drawback and I didnТt realise that I could set them up the other way. I always set them up like me dad and I always played on a right-handed kit left-handed. So when I play, I play with the high-hat with my left hand and the snare with my right hand. It was great because there wasnТt such a thing as a boom stand in those days so I could play with a straight stand between me legs and sing, which we all had to do.
Digger: Did you ever change over to the more natural style for you?
Ollie: I found it comfortable. I can play a left-handed kit just for fun. But IТll stick with a right-handed set-up.
Digger: Like McCartney used to play a right-handed guitar upside down, didnТt he?
Ollie: Yeah. Some greats are left handers you know.
Digger: What were your musical influences?
Ollie: Well, rock and roll had started when I was a kid. When I heard Bill Haley and his Comets, and then I saw them live on stage when I was 15 at the Odeon, which was a great venue for rock. I still have a scrapbook here of all the stars as I was very into rock and roll. I can remember hearing Blue Moon by Elvis where he just bashes his guitar and gets an echo and I thought УGod, what a sound.Ф (Does sound effects and sings УBlue MoonФ)
Digger: Was that the Gershwin song?
Ollie: Yes, I think it was the B-side. He just did it with the back of his guitar. (More sound effects)
Digger: That sound youТre making. On some of The Idle Race tracks I can hear that sound like youТre tapping your fingers against your cheekЕ
Ollie: (Laughs) No, thatТs what they call a skull. (Sings) УThere was peace and quiet for meФЕ.. IТm, playing a skull. Every drummer in the twenties had a set of them. ItТs like a bean with a slot cut in it and they come in different sizes for different tones.
Digger: Some of The Idle Race material was off-the-wall and very different from what anybody else was doing.
Ollie: ThatТs down to Jeff. (Laughs)
Digger: You others must have had some input into the creative process?
Ollie: Well Jeff, as always, whenever he did anything he knew what he wanted from the start and had it all in his head. ThatТs why heТs good at it Ц he can construct a song in his brain and it comes out, you know?
Digger: Did he have an exact idea of how it should end up?
Ollie: I think so. He did demos and he had a little studio in his house in Shard End and he had a 'B and O'. This is all part of history. It was one of the first machines that you could double track on. It wasnТt really a double track, but you could drop a track from the top of the tape onto the bottom so you could record two sounds together in stereo Ц I donТt know how they did it but the machine was then able to mix the two together. You filled that, drop that down and so on so that slowly you built up the sound.
Digger: Just donТt make any mistakes on the way down.
Ollie: (Laughs) Those sorts of mistakes would end up being put into the record.
Digger: Yes, well with modern technology you hear all sorts of things on older recordings. Drum sticks falling on the floor, sheet music turning, sneezes, swearing, even the voices of people who werenТt supposed to be on the released recording.
Ollie: Oh yeah.
Digger: So how would you describe yourself as a drummer and how would you describe your drumming?
Ollie: Yeah, I was a good solid drummer with a good metronome. I was pretty steady because, you see, years ago, it all seems so strange to say this now. But when you recorded a song, the first thing you said when you went back into the room to listen to it was УWas it okay - the tempo?Ф Because everybody works to the click now with machines but that was our absolute priority, how was the tempo? If you listen to Idle Race material, then youТll hear thereТs a good tempo and IТve always got a good metronome.
Digger: Did you have any session musicians in?
Ollie: Occasionally we did Ц I think youТll find Mike Batt was on one of the Idle Race tracks.
Digger: Where were they recorded?
Ollie: There was a little studio in New Bond Street called AdvisionЕ
Digger: Oh yes, IТve heard of them. IТve seen the name on many sleeve notes.
Ollie: Gerald Chevin and Eddie Offord were engineers there. Of 'Yes' fame. On the Internet there is some Japanese guy who has obtained, like people do on eBay, a reel-to-reel with all the track listings written in felt tip. IТve seen a picture that was sent to me on an email.
Digger: Does the name Idle Race come up every day?
Ollie: Pretty much all the time. And being in touch with everybody, itТs not a thing that lives with me 24/7. IТll be in a club somewhere and I hear УOooh, Rog-e-e-e-r-r!Ф Some mystical thing because IТm called 'Ollie' Spencer now so IТll say УYeah, thatТs my name, not a problemФ It must happen to Elton John too Ц УR-e-e-g!Ф
Digger: it was weird how many people in the 60s made it in the 70s, like Reg Dwight, David Jones, Marc Feld and Rod. And Jeff, of course.
Ollie: Yes.
Digger: How did Jeff get his guitar to sound like a child crying on Big Chief..?
Ollie: I think he had a Telecaster with a big knurled control knob to it and heТd switch the volume off and what you do is form your shape on the guitar and bash the guitar or play the string so that it resonates with no sound on and as soon as youТve hit it you bring the volume up. So instead of being УPdangФ itТs УMnyayh!Ф ItТs without the bang and you just get the ring of the note. Because you bring the volume of the note up you also get a violin effect. I think he used it when he did Cloud Nine with George Harrison. I think they did it in the studio with George doing the playing but Jeff activated the fader in the studio so the two of them were doing what Jeff did on his own, if you know what I mean?
Digger: You can hear a lot of the Idle Race stuff and think that it could have been on E.L.OТs album.
Ollie: Oh yeah, you can hear JeffЕ
Digger: For example on Come With Me.
Ollie: That was George HarrisonТs favourite. ItТs a great track that is. I mean Morning Sunshine too, what a great song that is. It still stands up.
Digger: I still love Skeleton and Roundabout.
Ollie: (Laughs) It could never have been a hit record could it but what a record that was.
Digger: Is that a Brummie thing to call a skeleton a skelington?
Ollie: Well, yes, youТve got the gag exactly. ItТs a localism to get the words wrong.
Digger: ThatТs another thing. YouТve still got it now. I donТt want to embarrass you, but you can actually hear that you sound like Jeff does on his vocals. ThereТs a definite Brummieness.
Ollie: (Laughs) Absolutely. I remember Ozzie Osborne doing a single four or five years ago and heТd just got that Brummie tone. He didnТt sing his rock voice, he just sang a gentle Beatley thing and it had that Brummie sound.
Digger: You used to get that with Harrison a lot on The Beatles stuff if he was doing the vocal. I thought it sounded so Scouse.
Ollie: What Jeff had, IТm not comparing it with The Beatles, but he had this humour and this tongue-in-cheek thing all the time. The Travelling Wilburys - so many funny things on there. Clever wit and gags.
Digger: All born out of HarrisonТs great sense of humour as well. I imagine you guys must have had some laughs?
Ollie: Two of the funniest guys IТve ever met were Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood.
Digger: Can you describe the Birmingham scene in the sixties?
Ollie: It was just non-stop groups. IТve known a week where weТve done fourteen gigs. So you do seven pubs and seven nightclubs. You do your gig, get your stuff in the van and go across town and end up doing all these nightclubs that were going on all around. Perhaps a one-off but we did them all.
Digger: And you were big in Brum and the surrounding area.
Ollie: I mean, I was thick and I didnТt realise. We used to do this one place and I forget what it was called now and weТd get there and there was a queue around the block. And I thought that was the normal thing. WeТd get inside and do the gig and then the next place would have a queue around the block and we just assumed that was the way it was. Not until years later, of course, did you realise that youТd got quite a following.
Digger: You had support from Kenny Everett, John Peel and yet you didnТt gain huge popularity nationally or internationally. Why do you think that was?
Ollie: I just think that magic pop single thing never quite happened. You canТt explain but we werenТt just quite on the ball. And also I think the management was bad.
Digger: Not promoting well enough?
Ollie: Well, they tried. One of the biggest mistakes was that we changed agents. We saw their acts on Top Of The Pops with The Tremeloes and Fleetwood Mac and all these sorts and we though weТd go with them. And they collapsed the week we went with them, totally fell apart.
Digger: The Move had problems at one stage because they had the bad publicity over their Harold Wilson parody but that turned into good publicity.
Ollie: Oh, that was stunning. That was amazing. We did make the front page of one of the daily papers. I got engaged to a girl off of The Avengers, Rhonda Parker.
Digger: I donТt know her.
Ollie: She pushed 'Mother' around.
Digger: Oh yes. Big girl.
Ollie: She was six feet tall and I was supposedly engaged to her although we were just very, very good friends, but it made the papers. She was wonderful Rhonda. She used to follow us around along with Susan George. They were in a gang.
Digger: Did you ever bump into Janice Nicholls?
Ollie: I didnТt but my wife did many years later. Her daughter went to the same dancing school as my daughter. My wife used to sit in the dressing room with her and she was exactly the same. УAlroight? OТIm okayФ
Digger: WhatТs your favourite Idle Race material?
Ollie: Well all of it really. ItТs just tremendous stuff.
Digger: I canТt understand why there werenТt some hits in there. It should have led to success and I canТt understand why lesser groups achieved success and you didnТt.
Ollie: Management has got a lot to do with it but thereТs also that quirky thing that gets the publicТs ear. Clever people like Kenny Everett who raved about the band and even the likes of The Beatles and Elton John. Elton met Jeff at the airport coming back from New York a few years ago and he said УBirthday Party, a classic.Ф They were great records but I think, for me, there was just that daft thing that didnТt make it into a hit record. I canТt explain it.
Digger: So what was the route from drummer to comedian?
Ollie: Well, The Idle Race was a short period, really, just a few years. When The Idle Race finished the members of the band slowly left one by one and sort of transformed into the Steve Gibbons band. He was amazing and still is. Carl Wayne once described him as a static Elvis. Steve wanted muso's in the band because there was a difference I think between quirky band members and musoТs. MusoТs play properly and we didnТt play properly. We were a quirky band.
Digger: Not in the sense like the Bonzos?
Ollie: No, quirky musically. I mean, the members of The Idle Race and the musicianship when you look back at them. The bass player Greg, unbelievable bass player. You talk about Jeff and his funny sounds, Greg had a Beatle bass with three strings and he had it made into a triangle and the top strings sat on the top side and he used to play this bass with a violin bow. That part of the stage show was just sensational. We were doing that before Jimmy Page and extended solos and we used to do the universities and we were a rock band for them. Born To Be Wild and Deborah and stuff. We were two bands.
Digger: You got into comedy and I remember seeing you in Tiswas but what happened in those intervening years? Because that was the late 70s wasnТt it?
Ollie: A quick resume. Idle Race finished, I didnТt feel comfortable or fit in with what Steve had in mind because he wanted a proper rock drummer whereas I was a feel and pastel shades/up downs feeling sort of a drummer. He got a great rock drummer. And then I left and had two offers, one to join Viv Stanshall in a band and I was offered a job with MatthewТs Southern Comfort almost a year to the day before (Laughs) they got a number one. Viv and I were great mates and I loved the man.
Digger: ItТs funny how there are all these connections. You probably met Neil Innes?
Ollie: Not so much Neil, but Legs Larry SmithЕ
Digger: Vernon Dudley Bohay-Nowell?..
Ollie: They were at Liberty on the same label as us and we worked with them a couple of times.
Digger: Why didnТt you join them or Matthews then?
Ollie: Well, I just didnТt fancy going out on the road with Ian Matthews' band and when Jeff left The Idle Race that was just it, you know. But I had a mortgage to pay and a family and I joined a club band a la Baron Knights sort of thing. And they did comedy and they asked me to do a bit as IТd done some years previously with a band called Mike Sheridan and The Nightriders.
Digger: A famous band.
Ollie: Right, with Roy Wood on guitar. And so I went into there and stayed with them for a bit doing the old comedy and got me confidence with that and then went out on my own.
Digger: And as you were in Brum anyway you probably were known when Tiswas started there?
Ollie: Well, yeah. I was recommended by Jasper Carrott. They asked him if he knew anybody and Jasper said Ollie Spencer will come and write for you, heТs got some good ideas.
Digger: Were you ever the Phantom Flan Flinger?
Ollie: Yeah, a couple of times although more often 'Mrs'. The Phantom was Benny Mills Ц he was the number one. The first Phantom Flan Flinger was Jim Davidson and quite a few people mutated through it. I was Mrs. Flan Flinger, Chinese Who Flung Flan and I was Das Flinger the German flan flinger.
Digger: Have you any photos of that time?
Ollie: Yeah, but not digital. IТll have to dig them out.
Digger: I found some photos of you online with John Gorman.
Ollie: Socially the funniest man I ever met in my life, John Gorman.
Digger: Tell us about OllieТs life and act today.
Ollie: IТm just a jobbing comedian, an old style comedian. I did seven of 'The Comedians' for Granada TV.
Digger: I could have seen you on the Ocean Village cruises?
Ollie: You could have. I donТt work for them but I do a bit of cruising. I do all sorts. Holiday camps, dinners, after-dinners.
Digger: Do you still do any music?
Ollie: Yeah, I do a bit and I am still writing. I palТed up with Shirley BasseyТs old keyboard player Mike Alexander and heТs getting together an act to do on the cruises and weТre just doing a bit of material together.
Digger: Are you still drumming?
Ollie: Yeah, it never leaves you and at Christmas parties and birthdays. It comes back straight away. Physically there are things you canТt do because youТre not match fit. You know what you want to do but whether you can do itЕ I just knock a bit of rock and roll out. Little Richard Ц still my favourite.
Digger: What do you think is the legacy of the sixties?
Ollie: It was just a platform that everybody started from and for me it was the beginning of so many things. Especially recording. There was a lot of experimentation which we found difficult to do then and now they can just do it with the press of a button.
Digger: My mate Dan in Los Angeles is so keen on The Idle Race and it strikes me as funny that he is there in the heart of entertainmentТs capital and to all appearances he seems typically American and yet he loves a cult Brummie band. Have you got people like that all over the world?
Ollie: Yeah, you meet people coming up to you brandishing an album. I had one about three weeks ago - I did a Rugby club in Kidderminster and a man came up and said "Hello Roger" and waved an Idle Race CD at me. It happens a few times a year.
Digger: Do you get nostalgic about it?
Ollie: Not really. I've sort of moved on and always have done. It's a great time which I remember with great fondness, you know.
Digger: I'm 52 but I couldn't do what you're doing now at my age, not wishing to make you sound like an old man.
Ollie: Well, I am an old man. I'm a very young old man. I still feel and think young. I mix with young people and I've got a young family and it's all about attitude isn't it?
Digger: Where did the Roy Chubby Brown impersonations come in?
Ollie: (Laughs) Well, somebody said that I looked like him but he's a huge guy and I'm only 5' 8". If you look at my face I've got the same little teeth and nose as him so there is a physical resemblance. And, of course, I don't just act I interact and it's another string to my bow because I've got to make a living. My wife's never seen it but my daughter has and thought it was fabulous. I do it bloody good! It's a pastiche and my material is a tribute to him and it's Chubby-esque and I don't use his material - I do my own stuff. Which is unusual because the guys usually rip his DVDs off, but I've got a comic's attitude because I've been a comic as long as he has. It's not right to lift someone else's stuff.
Digger: What do you think of the state of British comedy?
Ollie: Fantastic, unbelievable.
Digger: Some say that Tommy Cooper has gone, Morecambe and Wise have gone and so on...
Ollie: It was another age and it moves on. There's some fabulous comedians and, like with the Idle Race, some fabulous bands around now. I listen to the radio, not saying that I'm plugged into Radio One every day of my life, but I'm Classic FM and Radio Two but I do like the stuff and I often ask my daughter about bands.
Digger: I go into Youtube and iTunes and listen to stuff and it's the modern equivalent of going into the booths at record stores.
Ollie: Same here.
Digger: It sounds like you're eternally youthful.
Ollie: Peter Pan, that's me.
Digger: Well Ollie, have a good gig in Manchester tomorrow and I'll be in your home town at the Town Hall watching a Judy Collins gig. It's been great talking to you...
Ollie: Please also mention Dave Pritchard of The Idle Race because we were blessed actually. I couldn't describe to you the amazing talents we had in that band. Greg a great bass player, unusual. You had Dave Pritchard do every inversion of every chord in the world...
Digger: How often do you guys all meet up?
Ollie: I shall see Dave for a curry on Monday. He lives three miles away and Greg five miles away. And we're all three of us, very weirdly and very strangely for this business, still with our wives. I've been married 40 years, a child bride. All my kids are in the business, my older daughter sings in a band - she did musical theatre like Starlight Express and toured with Philip Schofield in Joseph. My son was the very first Gavroche in Les Miserables when it first came out at The Barbican. And Holly goes into Oliver in the west end in March.
Digger: It's all in the genes?
Ollie: Yes, my wife was a dancer, she was in chorus and danced and taught speech and drama, so the whole ethos of the family is showbusiness.
Digger: I wonder what would have happened if The Idle Race has been as big as The Stones or The Beatles?
Ollie: I'd have probably been dead by now. I'm sure it was meant to be. There's a longevity about not being famous. I think Jeff's come through it very well - he's been to hell and back and I went to see him last year and his wonderful home he's got in Beverly Hills and I emphasise that word HOME. It's a lovely home and a wonderful lady Camilla, who is stunning. The amazing thing about Jeff is that he speaks exactly the same now as the day I met him. He came over a couple of years ago and he wanted a curry and we went down to Broad Street and went to a curry buffet cafe and he said "I don't like this, where's the flock wallpaper? " So we came out of this posh buffet cafe and went down the road and found this really old naff curry house with flock wallpaper. "Oohh, that's more like it!" he said.
Digger: Look Ollie, it's been good talking to you. Let me have some photos if you can...
Ollie: Good talking to you too. I can probably digitise some images for you.
Digger: I don't want to put you to any trouble.
Ollie: There's some black and white 8x10's which will digitise quite well. I'll have a go. Send me a text to remind me. Give me a nudge - "Ollie, where' my bloody pictures?"
Digger: (Laughs) I will.
Ollie: It's no trouble. I've always got time to talk about the fabulous Idle Race. All I'll say to you is nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Watch This Space.
Digger: Hmm, Spandau Ballet, Take That, The Jam, Cream and The Police all spring to mind. They've all had successful reunions.
Martin Kinch: Hello Rick, and thanks for your time answering a few questions.
Rick Pannell: It's a pleasure Martin
Martin: So where were you born and brought up
Rick: I'm a Birmingham boy
Martin: Were you always interested in music
Rick: From Saturday BBC radio 'Uncle Mac'
Martin: Who were your music heroes as you were growing up
Rick: Nina Simone, Ravi Shankar, Joni Mitchell
Martin: A lot of the die hard ELO fans will recognise your name as you were a sound engineer for the band back in the 70s, When did you start working for them and how did you get the job
Rick: I started in Spring 1973. There was a musical equipment shop in Birmingham called 'Wasp'. It was the hub of 'interchange' for many bands and 'roadies
Martin: Were you aware of the band before you got the job
Rick: Yes, but mainly the 'roadies' that worked for them
Martin: Had you worked with any other bands/artists before that
Rick: My first band was 'Craig'. We launched Carl Palmer ( ELP ) into the rock world.
Martin: I believe Craig released a couple of singles on the Fontana label, were you with the band at the time of those releases
Rick: I was part of 'Craig' from inception to break-up. The singles were: 'A little bit of soap' and 'I must be mad'.
Martin: Did they get any airplay on the radio
Rick: Not really. Our London Manager Larry Paige had a success with the Troggs at the same time and we missed out
Martin: I think they are quite collectable now, have you got copies
Rick: I've got a few…not for sale. 'I must be mad' has become highly collectable in the Psychedelic music scene
Martin: Did you record any albums
Rick: No. At the time we were more a live act than experienced in the Recording Studio
Martin: Did you keep in touch with Carl Palmer
Rick: Yes, I spoke to him a few months ago and he's back in Birmingham.
Martin: Did you become a fan of ELP
Rick: Not really
Martin: So were you still in a band when the ELO job came along
Rick: I gave up playing with the band 'Galliard' to engineer ELO.
Martin: Tell me a bit more about Galliard, What did you play
Rick: I played guitar and sitar. Geoff Brown was lead singer. We were musically more adventurous with keyboard and Brass, introducing Elizabethan ( hence the name) and Classical styles with touches of jazz. A fusion you could say
Martin: Did you release any albums and singles
Rick: We released 2 albums: Strange Pleasure and New Dawn and we also released a single of 'I wrapped her in ribbons'
Martin: Did it cross your mind that they might make it big after you left
Rick: I wanted them to succeed. The real dilemma for me was giving up performing, though mixing a band can be a performance of power!
Martin: What did the guys say when you told them you were leaving - Did they carry on for much longer after you left
Rick: The band was already trying different styles. They carried on for a number of years under different names.
Martin: The albums were released on CD a few years ago - Did you get them and was it good to hear the albums again with CD quality
Rick: I received them from bass player Andy only a few years ago. Great sound but I can still hear my mistakes!
Martin: Did you write any of the songs
Rick: No
Martin: Do you still see any old the old band members
Rick: Yes Andy Abbott. Geoff Brown moved into the computer world like me and was behind the Games success Lara Croft. He now lives in California.
Martin: The early days of ELO are well known for their sound problems on stage, was this a big problem that you had to deal with as soon as you started and what instruments gave you the biggest problems
Rick: Yes- feedback from the Contact Mics on the Cellos and Violin and also the Mellotron could be temperamental after rough handling.
Martin: Did it take you a while to get the sound they wanted or did you get it sorted pretty quick
Rick: I built amplifiers for the strings with graphic equalisers before they were available. This enabled troublesome frequencies to be reduced. My background was electronics.
Martin: Can you remember the first gig you worked on
Rick: A BBC recording at the 'Paris studios' in London
Martin: So you were thrown in at the deep end then! If it's the one that was recorded on 19/04/1973 then it was released on CD a few years ago and it does sound great
Rick: Yes, that was the one, though I only mixed for the stage and audience. That was important though to give the band a good 'feel'.
Martin: Was it done like a normal gig or could they stop and start again if there was a problem
Rick: It was straight through in front of a live audience
Martin: Was the sound at the gigs all your responsibility or was there a team of people working on it
Rick: The sound and production was my responsibility. The quality and performance of the sound reinforcement equipment was the responsibility of the hire company.
Martin: You must have been quite nervous at the start
Rick: I joined before the first USA tour. The band were very supportive.
Martin: Were some venues easier to get a good sound from
Rick: Let me change that to - some venues were impossible to get a good sound such as Birmingham Town Hall (before renovation)
Martin: Soon after you started to work for ELO they began to get big and started to play in bigger venues, Were the bigger places harder work than the smaller ones
Rick: The big stadiums could lack atmosphere, though the sound was more straight forward than odd shaped theatres.
Martin: So as a sound engineer, what else is involved apart from getting the best sound from a band, do you have to look after everyone's instruments between dates, tune up guitars, cellos, violins etc
Rick: All of the bands electronics was my responsibility including hair driers. It was a privilege to re-string and tune Jeff's guitars.
Martin: So you didn't have to set up Mike Edward's exploding cello then
Rick: Mikes exploding Cello was a special of course. Miraculously mending itself for every performance.
Martin: I would think that life on the road is a good laugh, have you got any favourite funny stories from your days with ELO
Rick: A tour in Spain, spring 1975. A tour fraught with problems especially after the professionalism of the USA. After a food stop with no service and poor food we did a 'run out' without paying.
Martin: You actually often appeared on promo films and on 'Top of the pops' etc with the band playing a cello, how did that come about
Rick: The band lost Cello players in the early years. I stood in on Top of the Pops when Colin Walker suddenly left the band.
Martin: Did you ever have to play it live or couldn't you play it
Rick: I didn't play it live, but as a guitar player I could make it look convincing.
Martin: There's some great stuff on Youtube including a time when you were interviewed with the rest of the band by a German TV presenter, I can't help but feel a bit sorry for him when I see it, had you all had a few beers
Rick: No Beers for a change. The 'in' sayings from the time, like ' say no more' from Monty Python, reference to Mik Kaminski's love of betting on horses and the Sporting life paper were beyond the hip, long haired presenter's knowledge.
Martin: So was there a lot of drinking and parties and all that going on
Rick: I must have missed them.
Martin: I assume there wasn't a shortage of young ladies hanging around either
Rick: No, but sound engineers are low down the rankings.
Martin: Were you all good mates, did you go out socially away from work
Rick: The 'Birmingham boys' would socialise occasionally.
Martin: Did you have any favourite people connected with the band
Rick: Jasper Carrot was a good friend in his Folk singing days
Martin: And who did you get on with most in the band
Rick: Mik Kaminski. I put him at ease for his audition and then shared rooms with him on early tours.
Martin: I imagine Jeff to be a perfectionist - was he good company and was he easy to work with Rick: Jeff was natural and easy to get on with. I had to become a skilled football player on a holiday break with him in Cornwall.
Martin: Were you an actual fan of ELO, would you have gone to the gigs and bought the records had you not been working with them
Rick: Of course!
Martin: Working with Jeff Lynne in the early years, Did it surprise you at how big ELO became
Rick: Not really. Jeff and others put a lot of work into ELO.
Martin: There's been a lot written and said about the band's manager Don Arden, did you have much to do with him,What are your thoughts about him
Rick: Don delegated his son David to interact with me. I got on well with David and had fun with him so kept my opinions of his father private.
Martin: Did you work with the band when they were in the studio as well
Rick: Until I fell asleep in the early hours.
Martin: So who was Ted Blight
Rick: I guess that was me!! The Cellist that appears from time to time.
Martin: Is that you in the blurred photo of the 'On the third day' album
Rick: Yes, in a velvet jacket.
Martin: Have you got any favourite ELO songs
Rick: That is probably 10538 overture for its originality.
Martin: Well, I must admit that it is also my favourite too, I know Roy Wood had left by the time you started working with ELO, but did you ever get to meet him at all, You still shared the same management and record labels
Rick: Roy came to ELO's gig at Birmingham Town Hall.
Martin: Have you seen him since then
Rick: I’ve met him recently at a number of his shows at ‘The Robin ‘ in Bilston. Always friendly.
Martin: What did you think of his band
Rick: Such a dynamic show and a sell-out
Martin: Did you ever see Wizzard back in the 70s - I believe they had similar sound problems to ELO to start with
Rick: I didn't get to see Wizzard, probably because I was away with ELO so much
Martin: Did you ever meet up with Jeff Lynne again after you stopped working for the band
Rick: No
Martin: So as a Brummie you must have been aware of bands like The Move and Idle Race - Did you ever go and see them live or anyone else from the 'Brumbeat' scene
Rick: Yes , I particularly remember seeing the Vikings. when pubs were popular venues for groups .
Martin: Do you have a favourite period or year with ELO
Rick: The Eldorado album period
Martin: It sounds like a great job to have, why did you leave
Rick: I left the band so not to have a Divorce! The previous sound engineer suffered a Divorce (away from home for 7 or 8 months of the year).
Martin: Can you remember when it was that you left, What was the last tour
Rick: It was summer 1977 after a big USA tour.
Martin: Was it a shock to them or did they know you were thinking about it
Rick: The signs were there that the band would only last another tour. It was probably a surprise that I left before the big world tour.
Martin: So though it stopped you getting a divorce, did you have any regrets at leaving. Especially soon after you left they went on to do the Out of the blue tour and album which I would think was the biggest thing they had done,
Rick: I had to shut off from the rock world to make a break without regret.
Martin: OK, So what job did you do after that
Rick: I went back into electronics and the fast developing computer world at a University.
Martin: Did you follow their career at all afterwards
Rick: Only in the media.
Martin: Did you ever go and see them live after you'd left
Rick: I saw ELO part II
Martin: Did you keep in touch with any of them
Rick: Yes, Kelly and Mik.
Martin: Were you surprised that Jeff went on to work with The Beatles / Roy Orbison and many more of the world's biggest artists
Rick: Not surprised as they were inspirational artists.
Martin: A few years after ELO split up in 1986, Bev Bevan got a band together called ELO Part 2, You said you went to see them, what do you think about a band carrying on without the main singer/songwriter
Rick: I saw them once at Wolverhampton but a band without new popular material has a limited life.
Martin: 2009 saw the death of ELO bassist Kelly Groucutt, what are your memories of being with him
Rick: Kelly was very warm hearted. I saw him a number of times in the Midlands and he visited my home.
Martin: Are you still in the music business at all
Rick: No
Martin: Have you worked with any other well known artists
Rick: I worked with Lynsey De Paul and Widowmaker who both came under the Arden's management.
Martin: Do you regard the work you did with ELO as just another job, or will it always be something special to you
Rick: A special period.
Martin: Is it still something you talk about down the pub
Rick: With video material and modern internet media interest I'm re-living it again. It's more the virtual pub these days.
Martin: Does anyone recognise you if an old clip of Showdown is shown on the old TOTP repeats
Rick: Yes. Staff at the University where I worked.
Martin: Well Rick, many thanks for your time doing this, I hope it hasn't been too painful
Rick: Not painful once I had found the old Diaries
Martin: Cheers Rick
Rick: Thanks Martin

Действительно отличные интервью.Мне больше всего понравилось в конце ,когда говорит Олли:
Ollie: I'd have probably been dead by now. I'm sure it was meant to be. There's a longevity about not being famous. I think Jeff's come through it very well - he's been to hell and back and I went to see him last year and his wonderful home he's got in Beverly Hills and I emphasise that word HOME. It's a lovely home and a wonderful lady Camilla, who is stunning. The amazing thing about Jeff is that he speaks exactly the same now as the day I met him. He came over a couple of years ago and he wanted a curry and we went down to Broad Street and went to a curry buffet cafe and he said "I don't like this, where's the flock wallpaper? " So we came out of this posh buffet cafe and went down the road and found this really old naff curry house with flock wallpaper. "Oohh, that's more like it!" he said.

Through the years, McCartney's admiration of Holly has never waned. So he gladly recorded a version of this song for the Hugh Laurie-starring movie of the same name. Produced by Jeff Lynne, the song sounds a lot like something Lynne's old band, the Electric Light Orchestra, would have produced, with its layered vocals and a hoppy guitar rhythm.

Наш друг Джерри на своем блоге разместил информацию,что музыка ЭЛО использовалась в ещё одном фильме.Как бы это помягче выразиться ,в фильме весьма фривольного содержания.
I wish I can take credit for finding this, but the credit goes to a fellow fan/collector who wishes to remain anonymous for the sake of his peaceful household. I don't know if this info was already out there among fans, but this is the first time I've heard this.
Perhaps unbenounced (or not) to ELO or their management, several ELO songs were used in an adult video from 1976 called Ecstasy In Blue. As is the case with many films of its genre, Ecstasy In Blue is this hilariously bad account of some scary-looking freaky guy who has magic powers over women, or something like that. The plot kind of escaped me. And according to the description on the box, the cinematography is great. I, er, beg to differ.
The video apparently made its way to DVD a few years ago. I'm told it wasn't terribly uncommon in those days for adult movie directors to use music by popular artists. But what makes this juicy bit of info even more odd is the ELO songs (among others) they decided to use:
Fire On High In The Hall Of The Mountain King Daybreaker Ocean Breakup/King Of The Universe Manhattan Rumble (49th Street Massacre) Dreaming Of 4000
Yes, indeed, ladies and gentlemen, you heard it here. Manhattan Rumble was used in an old porn movie. Now, if that's not good trivia, I don't know what is.

22 апреля состоиться очередное выступление трибьют группы ЭЛО.
ONE of the world's best-loved bands will be celebrated in a special tribute concert.
The ELO Experience will be taking to the stage at Weston's Playhouse at 7.30pm on April 22.
The music of Jeff Lynne and the Electric Light Orchestra was born in 1970 in Birmingham.
Not long afterwards, Jeff and the Electric Light Orchestra rapidly shot to fame to become one of the world's best known and greatest recording bands, packing out stadiums throughout the world.
The band was seen as 'the' ground-breaking and innovative UK group of their time.
The unique sound of the band featured an orchestral string section and this helped them achieve numerous transatlantic hits.
In Britain alone the group achieved 15 top 10 UK hits between 1972 and 1981 including the number one Xanadu.
Other hits include Roll Over Beethoven, Livin' Thing, Wild West Hero, Sweet Talkin' Woman, Shine a Little Love, Don't Bring Me Down, Hold on Tight and probably the best known of them all, Mr Blue Sky.
The ELO Experience is made up of five talented and gifted musicians whose emphasis is very much on attention to detail.
Andy Louis fronts the band and his lead vocals are widely considered to be very close to that of Jeff Lynne.
Tickets, priced £14-£15.50, are available from the box office on 01934 645544 or visit www.theplayhouse.co.uk
The Weston & Somerset Mercury has teamed up with The Playhouse to offer three lucky readers the chance to win tickets to see The ELO Experience.
To enter the competition, simply answer the following question: Who fronts The ELO Experience?

Hooked on ELO
When Louis Clark takes the stage of an Atlantic City casino showroom this weekend, the memory of his first visit to the Boardwalk won’t be too far from his mind.
Clark, the keyboardist and chief arranger for The Orchestra — a combination of players from the Electric Light Orchestra and ELO II — certainly won’t be feeling the pressure and terror that accompanied him during his Atlantic City debut nearly 30 years ago.
Clark made his American debut as an orchestra conductor before 100,000 people packed onto the beach on July 4, 1982. Prior to his Independence Day gig, his only other time conducting in public was a program of Queen music with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London’s fabled Royal Albert Hall six months earlier.
Although he’d been conducting bands in recording studios for years and was a road-tested rock musician in the 1960s, Clark was a novice when it came to waving the baton in public.
“When they led me from my hotel room out to the stage, I told my wife I felt like I was being led to the gallows,” he says with a laugh. “It was very scary for me.”
In retrospect, Clark should have relished the opportunity instead of being frightened by it. Although he wasn’t exactly a household name, his music certainly was.
Clark, who had already made a name for himself as one of the arrangers for ELO, was back in the Top 10 in ’82 as the arranger and conductor of the Hooked On Classics series of albums. On Hooked On Classics, Clark took segments from well-known classical pieces like, Rossini’s “William Tell Overture,” George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” and Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture,” and gave them a modern beat — sometimes disco — that linked the segments together.
The Hooked On Classics albums — four in all — captured the ears of the American listening public and hit the Top 10 on the Billboard charts, which is why one Atlantic City casino invited Clark and the 60-piece American Symphony Orchestra to America’s birthday celebration.
Clark, who performs with The Orchestra at Resorts Atlantic City on Saturday (April 17), doesn’t know why he was so nervous when he took the stage that first time in Atlantic City. Between the Hooked On Classics albums and his collaborations with ELO, his past work already spoke for itself.
Clark, 63, was a self-taught musician who as a child was enchanted by classical music. But in the early 1960s, the young British guitarist heard a band called The Beatles, and it lured him into a career in music.
“The moment I heard the Beatles, I fell in love with their music and made up my mind that’s what I wanted to do,” he recalls during a phone call from his home in Ohio. “I wanted to play in a band.”
So he joined the Raymond Froggatt Band, a rock group in Birmingham, England and began experimenting with infusing traditional rock with classical elements.
During the mid-1960s, his band even did some concert dates with orchestras, several years before popular bands like the Moody Blues and Deep Purple did the same thing. “As far as I know, we were the first [rock band] to work with an orchestra. But we sounded bloody horrible,” Clark recalls with a laugh.
Classic ELO clip - "Evil Woman":
At 24, Clark realized he needed to add to his self-taught music skills, so he enrolled in Leeds College of Music in England and earned his degree three years later. He became a session player working in various studios and also spent several years working in house bands in small cabarets.
At the same time, Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood were getting ELO off the ground and seemed to have similar musical sensibilities as Clark. Lynne heard Clark playing in a studio one day, was impressed with Clark’s use of classical elements and the way he weaved a small choir in his music, and asked him if he’d like to contribute to ELO.
Clark eventually hooked up with ELO on their fourth album, Eldorado, left the group to do Hooked On Classics and has returned periodically over the years to be part of ELO II and, eventually, the Orchestra, which can’t legally use the ELO name.
The Orchestra continues to tour England and eastern Europe periodically, and Clark says he’s hoping to build momentum from a series of one-off American concerts dates this spring so the group can mount a mini-tour of the United States this summer.

In Atlantic City this weekend: The Orchestra continues to play the hits of ELO
For fans of symphonic rock in general and the influential group Electric Light Orchestra in specific, the genre lives on. The Orchestra, which is made up of musicians who played with the original ELO or the subsequent ELO Part II, performs this weekend at Resorts Atlantic City.
Although The Orchestra for legal reasons and to assert its own identity doesn't use the ELO moniker, its main mission is to re-create that group's sound. (ELO co-founder and lead vocalist Jeff Lynne, who controls the name, is not involved with the six-member outfit.)
The Orchestra set list largely surveys ELO's best known material, including "Sweet Talkin' Woman," "Telephone Line," "Mr. Blue Sky," "Evil Woman," "Rock Aria" and "Hold on Tight."
"We do all the old favorites - people would be disappointed if we didn't," says Louis Clark, The Orchestra's keyboardist and arranger.
However, The Orchestra also likes to mix things up by including its own version of The Beatles "Twist and Shout" and lesser known ELO tracks.
"We do pull some obscure ones out for our own sanity as much as anything else," Clark says.
Although The Orchestra prides itself on staying true to ELO's original sound, some songs have taken on a life of their own over the years, according to Clark, one of two members to have performed with both ELO and ELO Part II. (The other is violinist Mik Kaminski.)
"The ones people are so familiar with, we try to keep it as accurate to the original as we can," Clark says.
"Things automatically evolve over the years. We get so used to how we're playing things. We listen back and realize it's a bit different in some parts. In most cases, we try to keep it to the original."
The Orchestra also had to regroup last year following the sudden death of bassist Kelly Groucutt after a show in Berlin. Glen Burtnik of ELO Part II and Styx has since joined the line up.
"It took a lot of replacing - he was such a character," Clark says of Groucutt. "Glen has fitted in great. He has a fantastic pedigree - he played with Styx.
"I don't like calling him a replacement. I like to say he inherited the position."
For Clark, melding classical music with rock has been the mainstay of his career.
He has both a rock and music school background, and his major credit outside ELO is "Hooked on Classics," a series of pop-classical albums recorded in the 1980s with the Royal Philharmonic.
"That series was very kind to me," Clark says. "It started off as a gimmicky novelty record. The DJs on the radio in England went crazy with it … and the Americans picked up on it. It was even bigger (in the States)."
Having performed many dates with The Orchestra and actual orchestras in recent years, Clark sees real synergies between the genres.
"It's nice to have them working together rather than against each other - it's all music at the end of the day," Clark says. "Classical makes rock more sophisticated harmonically, and more interesting with all the different instruments and the subtlety you get from the instruments. With rock 'n' roll, it's all bash, bash, bash. With classical instruments, there's more light and shade But rock takes a bit of the stiffness out of it."

Для любителей симфонического рока в целом и влиятельного коллектива Electric Light Orchestra в частности, жанр продолжает жить. Orchestra, cостоящий из музыкантов, которые играли в оригинальном ELO или последующем ELO Part II, проводит эти выходные на курортах Атлантик-Сити.
Хотя Orchestra по юридическим причинам, и, чтобы доказать собственное право на жизнь, не использует название ELO, его главной целью является воссоздать звучание группы (основатель ELO и лидирующий вокалист Джефф Линн, контролирующий название ELO, никак не связан с группой из шести лиц.)
Сет-лист Orchestra в значительной степени состоит из известного материала ELO, в том числе "Sweet Talkin Woman", "Telephone Line", "mr Blue Sky", "Evil Woman", "Rockaria" и "Hold On Tight".
"Мы играем все старые хиты - люди были бы разочарованы, если бы мы поступали по-другому", - говорит Луис Кларк, клавишник Orchestra и аранжировщик.
Orchestra также любит перемешивать вещи, в том числе собственную версию The Beatles "Twist & Shout" и менее известные треки ELO.
"Мы удаляем или заменяем некоторые спорные моменты из них, исходя из нашего восприятия, чем-нибудь ещё", - говорит Кларк.
Хотя Orchestra гордится тем, что оставаясь верными оригинальному звучанию ELO, на протяжении многих лет некоторые песни живут своей собственной жизнью, соглашается Кларк (или благодаря Кларку?) - один из двух музыкантов, работавших с ELO и ELO Part II (другой скрипач - Мик Камински).
"То, что людям так хорошо знакомо, мы, насколько можем, стараемся сохранить в качестве максимально близком к оригиналу," - говорит Кларк, - "песни автоматически меняются с годами. Мы так привыкли к тому, как исполняем их. Затем переслушиваем и понимаем, что кое-что немного отличается в некоторых частях. В большинстве случаев, мы пытаемся сохранить оригинальное звучание".
Orchestra также пришлось перегруппироваться в прошлом году после внезапной смерти бас-гитариста Келли Грауката после шоу в Берлине. С тех пор в состав вошёл Глен Бартник из ELO Part II и Styx.
"Произошла существенная замена - у него был такой характер", говорит Кларк о Граукате, - "Глен наделён большим. Его фантастическая биография - он играл в Стикс. Мне не нравится называть Глена заменой. Я бы предпочёл сказать, что он унаследовал позиции".
Для Кларка слияние классической музыки с роком было основным в его карьере.
Сейчас он занят как в роке, так и в учебном процессе муз.школ, а его основные достижения вне ELO включают "Hooked on Classics", серию классических поп-альбомов, записанных в 1980-х с Королевским филармоническим оркестром.
"Эта серия была очень любезна со мной," - говорит Кларк, - "она стартанула, как музыкальная новинка. Английские диджеи на радио с ума сходили по ней, а американцы подхватили. Причём в США даже больше".
Совершив много поездок с Orchestra и классическими оркестрами в последние годы, Кларк видит реальное взаимодействие между жанрами.
"Приятно работать вместе, а не против друг друга - всё это музыка в конце дня", говорит Кларк, - "Классика делает рок гармонически более сложным, более интересным, с различными инструментами и тонкостями, присущими им. С рок-н-роллом вместе всё это Бах, Бах и Бах. С классическими инструментами больше света и теней, а рок снимает чуток оцепенелости."

Это истинная правда! К счастью у них нет тех извращений, которым подвергаются любимые нами вещи в некоторых кавер-версиях... Володь, подача материала на самом деле весьма корректная на фоне всего того, что происходило в Европе и уж тем более России.... А как же иначе, журналюги-то местные, АМЕРИКОССКИЕ... Попробуй облажайся, тут же Калифорнийская мафия накроет и от Атлантик-сити ничего не останется! Шучу... конечно же, все должно быть справедливо в независимости от территории и журналисты должны одинаково подавать материал уважая заслуги того, без кого и не было бы всего этого.... Дим, спасибо за перевод!
Саш,твоими устами....То что он свой альбом такими средствами будет раскручивать у меня большие сомнения,а вот совместный с Уолшем,чем черт не шутит,уж больно Джо заводной мужик.
А я чего-то сомневаюсь, хотя не исключаю, что Джефф пару раз где-нибудь в L.A. и вылезет на сцену вместе с Уолшем. Ну Линн настолько приучил всех к тому, что редко выступает, что всему будем рады.

The Orchestra carries the torch for ELO's legacy
Let's see, there's "Evil Woman," "Strange Magic," "Telephone Line," "Livin' Thing" and "Turn to Stone." Oh, and "Don't Bring Me Down," "Sweet Talkin' Woman," "Hold On Tight" and, well, nearly 30 Top 40 hits in the U.S. alone. To paraphrase yet another monster hit, you Can't Get Them Out of Your Head.
The American Red Cross
When the classic lineup of Electric Light Orchestra ruled the transcontinental airwaves back in the 1970s, it did more than simply graft string arrangements onto a series of rock and roll chestnuts ("Roll Over Beethoven") or present rocked-up renditions of the classics ("In the Hall of the Mountain King"). It also served as a precision-tuned showcase for the infectiously accessible songs and increasingly awesome studio wizardry of frontman Jeff Lynne.
Lynne (who actually assumed command of ELO following the early departure of multitasking founder Roy Wood) kept that lineup going for an admirably long time — considering the unusually large roster, grueling tour schedule, massive budgets and the ego of their captain, who was chasing the legacy of The Beatles in his quest to rule both radio and recording studio.
Things quieted down in the early part of the 1980s, with Lynne (who now controls the rights to the ELO name) fronting various stripped-down configurations, and eventually taking a reformed version of the band on the road about 10 years ago — having spent much of the prior decade as a Traveling Wilbury and a sought-after producer for some of the biggest names in music.
In between, there was ELO Part II, a touring and recording unit that featured several familiar members of the original band, and an organization that continued under that name until 1999, when Lynne purchased full rights to the ELO brand. Since then, the electric torch has been carried around the world by an entity with the somewhat unwieldy name of The Orchestra: Former Members of ELO and ELO Part II. It's a razor-sharp new edition of the magnificent music machine that pulls into New Jersey Saturday night for a concert at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City.
With two veteran architects of ELO's sonic glories on board (violinist Mik Kaminski and longtime arranger-keyboardist Louis Clark), The Orchestra can scarcely be called a tribute band — although it now boasts the skills of original "Beatlemania" cast member and Central Jersey hometown hero Glen Burtnik. The Asbury-based singer, hit songwriter ("Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough") and musical go-to ace replaced the late Kelly Groucutt on bass and vocals for an extensive tour of Russia last year, having previously subbed for an ailing Groucutt on a Part II tour some 15 years ago.
The American Red Cross
Burtnik's hardly the only Jersey guy in this Orchestra, however. Hunterdon County resident Eric Troyer has been performing the music of ELO nearly as long as anyone alive, having first joined the Part II team in the late 1980s. The singer and keyboardist — whose many credits include work with another mad musical scientist, Jim Steinman (Meat Loaf, Air Supply, Bonnie Tyler) — joins Burtnik, Kaminski and Clark, plus guitarist-vocalist Phil Bates and drummer Gordon Townsend in a "rock format" core that's more compact than the full-orchestra show they traveled with through Eastern Europe.
"We're getting a mix of younger and older people in Europe; places like Russia, England, Spain," Troyer observes. "We've played South America, Australia, Singapore — and we did our two all-time best shows in Israel."
The band can't be said to have ignored the U.S. market, although Troyer suggests "we got tired of slogging it out on the summer circuit here."
"The English guys don't really like to play the county fair circuit," he adds with a laugh. "People eating corn dogs; all that rib fest smoke wafting out over the band."
Still, even though playing a set of some two dozen songs from a massive catalog of hits will inevitably leave someone in the audience feeling cheated out of their favorite tune, Troyer maintains, "We're still having fun — three of us are sharing lead vocal parts, and even switching off verses on "Strange Magic' and others. "There's a lot of ear candy in this music," he adds. "And we do a lot of rehearsing to get it just right — you can't just go in there and jam on these songs."

"The Birth Of ELO"
by Roy Wood
"Jeff came along with a skeleton idea for a song which we intended to use for a B side on one of these tracks (California Man, Tonight or Chinatown). There were a few bits missing that Jeff and myself worked on, while the other lads took a break. We eventually recorded the backing track that afternoon. Bev and Rick were due to travel back to Birmingham on the train, so me and Jeff stayed and overdubbed the electric guitar riffs.
"Around this time, I had started to collect musical instruments. Because of the impending idea for the orchestra, I had decided to buy a cello a couple of weeks earlier. It was a cheap Chinese job, and I hadn't got much of a clue, apart from knowing how to tune it, hold the bow correctly, and play Jimi Hendrix riffs on it! I took it into the control room while we were listening to the playback of the track, and joined in for a laugh, scraping away in 'I Am The Walrus' type fashion. Jeff said that sounds great and we should put it on the track. We ended up overdubbing loads of them, which eventually sounded like some colossal heavy metal cello band. As the instrumentation built up, we could feel that this was probably turning into the modern rock orchestra sound that we wanted to achieve... In fact, it sounded BLOODY MARVELOUS... We were ecstatic!
"When we eventually came to record the vocals, Jeff was looking for a title to portray a man with a number instead of a name. After staring into the space for a while, we noticed the serial number on the modules of the recording console, 1053. With a bit of juggling, it ended up as 10538... and as its the first song with our new idea... 10538 Overture... YES!"

Примечательно, что именно кавер версия Do Ya была выбрана Эйсом Фрили для сингла к альбому Trouble Walkin', изданному в 1989 году. К сожалению и альбом, и сингл оказались провальными, тем не менее, лично мне этот кавер понравился. Объяснение одно - хорошую вещь испортить сложно....,но можно. Не в этом случае, конечно же!
Сыграно технично, но всё как-то уж очень правильно.
Да, Дим... Это конечно же не Хаксли с его "Homemade Spaceship"! Однако, именно отсутствие "извращений" и в некотором роде усиленная жесткость этой версии мне и понравилаась, собственно... Хотя, согласен, не шедевр!

Глен Хьюз мог играть в ЭЛО
По сообщению наших испанских коллег,в экслюзивном интервью Oscar Garcia он сказал,что получил предложение от Роя и Джеффа.
He was a member of the legendary band Deep Purple along with Tommy Bolin, Ritchie Blackmore David Coverdale, and may have been part of ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA in its infancy. GLENN HUGHES The English musician revealed in an exclusive interview with Oscar Garcia Rockaxis Verasategui for this opportunity it provided when THE MOVE ended his career and before the beginning of ELO. These were the questions and answers related to ELO:
Before joining Deep Purple you had an offer to join the band of Jeff Lynne, ELO?
To disintegrate The Move, Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood invited me to join the newly formed ELO and make it a band of three lead singers, Jeff, Roy and Glenn. At that time I had left Trapeeze and ELO were composing some songs that initially was going to sing. But the people of Moody Blues (with whom he shared label) convinced me to return to Trapeeze before he recorded a note with ELO . Who knows what would have happened if I stayed with them.
You hear "Zoom", the last ELO album?
Yes, I loved it. Aside to Jeff Lynne consider him a genius and brilliant as composer and person.

Звуковой ряд полностью эдентичен студийной записи....

А если серьезно, то по белому завидую польским товарищам..... Оторвутся в эти дни полноценно и по полной!!!!
В самую точку, Саш, высказался. Они - молодцы! Ведь, наверняка, многие из разных мест. Хоть Польша и невелика по сравнению с мооооооогучей Россией, но как организована!! На любое такое деяние во славу господа нашего Джеффа очень приятно смотреть. И как ни грустно, но в большой, многомиллионной, населённой очень благодарными и настолько же пассивными слушателями, стране под названием "Россия" такой размах почитателям Джеффа, видимо, не светит НИКОГДА долго-долго. Короче, радуемся за наших соседов - поляков!

Дим, чем мне в принципе нравятся трибьют команды, так это тем, что помимо стандартных хитов порой можно услышать "живьем" то, что в оригинале живьем либо не исполнялось вовсе, либо исполнялось крайне редко...
Однако, в данном случае, похоже, что ребята из этой польской команды не просто трибьютеры.... Чувствуется, что офигительная любовь к творческому наследию Джэффа и ЭЛО положена в основу их своего собственного творчества и это здорово!
Да, Саш, отличная. Во время прослушивания в сознании мелькал Eldorado. (вокалиста, правда, хотелось бы поинтереснее и посочнее). Ну что говорить, среди обычных поляков любовь к ELO на порядок выше российской, поскольку ни одного подобного нашенского коллектива на ум не приходит

Всё ждём светлого события в виде нового сольника Джеффа, а жизнь преподносит очень грустные сюрпризы. Снова потери в ELO: в результате нелепого ДТП 3 сентября в Англии ушёл из жизни 62-летний виолончелист группы Майк Эдвардс (играл в составе с 72 по 75 год, на втором, третьем, четвёртом и официальном концертнике 73 года). Позже он покинул шоу-бизнес, чтобы стать буддистом, а совсем недавно посвятил себя средневековой и народной музыке.
A founding member of ELO has been killed following a freak accident involving a giant bale of hay.
Mike Edwards, 62, who played cello for the band for three years, died when the giant bale weighing 50 stone crashed down on top of his van.
Mr Edwards died instantly in the accident after the bale careered down the hill, and flipped over a hedge. Tragedy: Mike Edwards, a former cellist in ELO, died in a freak accident when a 50-stone bale of hay rolled down a hill, flipped over a hedge and crashed down on his van

Eccentric: Mike Edwards's bizarre costumes and ability to play his cello with fruit were a major part of ELO's appeal
The circular bale is believed to have been in a steeply sloping field beside the road when it somehow rolled and jumped 15ft into traffic.
Police say the accident happened at around 12.30pm on Friday on the A381 between Harbetonford and Halwell in Devon.
The victim was driving a white transit-type van towards Kinsgbridge when the bale of hay smashed into the front cab.
The van swerved after it was hit and then collided with another smaller van coming the other way - but the second driver was unhurt.
Inspector Andy Hamilton said: 'We are liaising with the health and safety people and gathering evidence from the scene of the accident and the field.
'The van came into contact with a very large bale of hay. We are investigating how this came to happen.'
He added that police had spoken to the farmer who owns the field and would be talking to him again shortly.
Mike was a founding member of Electric Light Orchestra and played cello with the group from their first live gig in 1972 until he left in January 1975.
He quit the band to become a Buddhist and later changed his name to Deva Pramada because of his religious convictions. Performing: Edwards plays his cello during a gig in 1974. He left the band the following year to become a Buddhist and later changed his name to Deva Pramada because of his religious convictions

Mike's eccentric cello playing - including plucking the strings with an orange or grapefruit - and bizarre costumes were a major ingredient of ELO.
He played cello on albums ELO II, On the Third Day, The Night The Light Went On (In Long Beach) and Eldorado.
Steve Walker of the Devon and Cornwall police traffic unit said they were trying to contact his family.
He said: 'This was a tragic accident and we have now identified the victim as Michael Edwards, a founder member of ELO.
'We have used photographs and YouTube footage to identify him but we now need help contacting his family for formal identification.
'We don't believe he was ever married and we have identified an ex-girlfriend but she is currently abroad.'
He continued: 'We think he may have a brother called David in the Yorkshire area and we obviously need to contact him.
'Michael has no immediate family but we believe he may have taught some cello in Devon and would ask his students to contact us if they know of any relations.'
Один из основателей ELO погиб в результате несчастного случая с гигантскими тюками сена.
Майк Эдвардс, бывший виолончелист ELO, умер мгновенно из-за несчастного случая, когда 300-килограммовая кипа тюков сена скатилась с холма и ударила в его автофургон.
Круглый тюк сена, как полагают, находился на крутом склоне на обочине дороги, когда он почему-то покатился и вылетел на полосу движения. Полицейские говорят, что авария произошла около 12:30 вечера в пятницу в Девоне. Потерпевший ехал в белом транзитного типа фургоне, когда тюк сена врезался в переднюю кабину. После удара грузовик развернуло и он столкнулся с другим фургоном, но второй водитель не пострадал.
Инспектор Энди Гамильтон сказал: "Мы взаимодействуем с людьми из охраны здоровья и занимаемся сбором доказательств с места аварии и на местах. Фургон столкнулся с очень большим тюком сена. Изучается, как это произошло." Он добавил, что полицейские общались с фермером, который владеет этой областью, и намереваются говорить с ним ещё раз.
Эксцентрика Майка Эдвардса, странные костюмы и умение играть на виолончели с фруктами являлись одной из привлекательных черт ELO. Эдвардс был одним из основателей Electric Light Orchestra и играл в группе начиная с их первого живого выступления в 1972-м до тех пор, пока не покинул коллектив в январе 1975 года, чтобы стать буддистом, а затем изменил свое имя на Дева Прамада из-за религиозных убеждений. Он играл на альбомах "ELO II", "На третий день", "Зажёгся ночью свет(в Лонг-Бич)" и "Эльдорадо".
Стив Уолкер Девон и Корнуэлл из подразделения дорожной полиции заявили, что они пытаются связаться с его близкими. Полицейский сказал: "Это трагический несчастный случай и мы уже идентифицировали личность жертвы, как Майкла Эдвардса, одного из участников ELO. Мы использовали фотографии и кадры из YouTube для его идентификации, но сейчас нам нужна помощь, чтобы связаться с его семьей. Мы не считаем, что он когда-либо был женат, однако установили личность бывшей подруги, которая сейчас находится за рубежом. Возможно, у Эдвардса есть брат по имени Дэвид в области Йоркшир и, безусловно, необходимо связаться с ним. Майкл не имеет близких родственников, но есть мнение, что он преподавал класс виолончели в Девоне и мы просим, чтобы его ученики связались с нами, если им известно о каких-либо родственниках Эдвардса ."

На день города можно этот оркестр - очень торжественно и весело играют!!!
) Только, к сожалению, мало пишут и порой сами не знают о присутствии единомышленников. Тут совсем недавно на одном релизе по ELО прочёл грустный риторический вопрос человека, что, мол, почему ни у кого это не вызывает интереса, неужели команда перестала быть популярной и кроме него уже никто не отзывается и не интересуется? Ошибается старина. Зашёл бы на сайт Натальи или сюда - повеселее глядел бы на жизнь
