Mr. Blue Sky-The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra

“Mr. Blue Sky–The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra” is a powerful new testament to Jeff Lynne’s enduring artistry and his singular desire to get things right once and for all.

Here Lynne has artfully revisited and re-recorded the greatest hits of Electric Light Orchestra, and actually improved on some of the most classic and beloved recordings ever.

The result is, in effect, a kind of showdown between Jeff Lynne today and his extremely illustrious past, and thanks to improved technology and recording artistry, wouldn’t you know Lynne somehow comes out on top again. 

So too do all of us who get another fresh chance to hear these extraordinary songs sounding quite literally better than they ever have before.

Electric Light Orchestra is one of the most remarkable success stories in rock history. Consider just the facts: Electric Light Orchestra has sold over 50 million records worldwide, and continues to be a remarkably popular catalog. Between 1972 and 1986, Lynne wrote and produced 26 Top Forty hits in the United Kingdom, and 20 Top Forty hits in the United States, including 20 Top Twenty smashes in the UK and 15 Top Twenty smashes in the U.S. Even more remarkably, the ELO catalog continues to have tremendous impact here in the Twenty-First Century, as demonstrated powerfully when the compilation All Over The World: The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra was released in 2005 and became a Top Ten album hit in a number of international markets including England.
