The Electric Light Orchestra were one of the biggest and most successful bands of the late 1970s, producing a massive string of hit singles and albums that almost any other band would envy. This pop rock song forms the fourth and final track of the ‘Concerto for a Rainy Day’ suite, on side three of the original double album Out of the Blue. on the way and if they sound as good as the one I am playing now I will be avery happy personSorry but not telling you any of the songs so as not to spoil it for you. As for the song's meaning, band members have confirmed it is about an escaped prisoner, hence the character in the song having a number, instead of a name. ELO celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2021, and Jeff said: 'It means so much to me to release this book during the 50th anniversary of ELO, and four years on from our Wembley Or Bust concert.

Their second single, 'Roll Over Beethoven' rose to Number 6 in the UK and scored them Number 42 in the US's Billboard Hot 100. But I remember a statement they made when they first formed was to carry on from where the Beatles left off with 'Walrus' and they certainly did.One of ELO's greatest ballads not only is a highlight of the band's first Top 10 album, it also marked a turning point in their career. The group then had their debut concert in April 1972 as their fame levels grew and their music began to be recognised more widely. Despite being released after the album Discovery, this album omitted the band's most recent hits, " Don't Bring Me Down" and " Shine a Little Love". In 1974, ELO released their fourth studio album 'Eldorado', releasing 'Can't Get It Out of My Head' as their first single.

Adding to the track's monumental success, in 2002 the popular British girl group Atomic Kitten sampled the hook in their single 'Be with You'. Frontman Jeff Lynne has described the song as being about ELO's frequent commute from Birmingham to London in their early days.Avevo già il cd del loro più famoso cd "Discovery" ed adesso secondo me con questo cd raccolta riscopro anche brani che avevo dimenticato come Turn to stone e telephone line che mi ero dimenticato. The Beatles-style lyrics describe a week in the life of a repressed man who wants to show his affection towards a woman he meets. Yet, just one year later in 1970, Jeff Lynne changed his mind after his fellow band-mate Carl Wayne quit, joining forces with Roy Wood.
