Ok, I'm not a fan of bands re-releasing albums, since I'm too jaded to think that it's anything but a money play. However, thanks to the new model of being able to download single songs (unless tied into an album that you need to buy the whole thing to get the one track -- aaargh), it makes adding to the collection that much simpler. However, when one of my all-time favorites do it?
ELO re-released the massive, awesome album Out of the Blue. I believe I have owned this one almost every format but DAT. I got the original LP when I was around 10, listened to it hundreds of times, bought everything they did since, scoured record stores for imports and rarities.
The Track. Getting to it now.
ELO's Latitude 88 North. It's gotta be cold as hell. The lyrics are great, the tune is catchy. I don't know why I like it so, but I do. There is something about it that takes me back. Maybe the fact that I have been listening to bands that play roughly 3 chords, lately.
