First off I’d like to thank UnexpectedMoments and Yerffej Ennyl from the ELOcirclejerk discord server for providing me with information about this piece and inspiration to put it together.
So you’re probably wondering what this is. Well through some extensive research conducted by Ms UM, a life long ELO fan, the original tracklist for the Concerto has been put together. Originally much longer than what made it onto the album, the piece contained a few more bits and pieces which eventually wound up elsewhere on the record or on the cutting room floor, only heard in little snippets. This is a reconstruction of that piece, with everything included. The tracklist is as follows
1. It’s Over (Prelude) (0:00)
2. Overture (4:05)
3. Standin’ In The Rain (6:08)
4. Big Wheels (8:22)
5. Summer and Lightning (13:30)
6. Interlude (17:39)
7. Mr Blue Sky (18:59)
8. Latitude 88 North (23:49)
9. Eve (27:04)
Overture is the first 2:08 seconds of Standin’ In the Rain.
Interlude is the Daft portion of The Quick and the Daft
Eve is a reprise of Standin’ in the rain, found on the ELO instrumental medley
Latitude 88 North was unfinished during the sessions for the record but I have included the finished take for completion sake
Enjoy this interesting piece of ELO history, mixed together by yours truly
