If it's just Jeff Lynne, then he should be more honest, and record the new album under his own name. Exactly. I don't even understand the quote about his own name giving him confidence and 'not hiding behind those letters'. That seems a bizarre statement when 'those letters' have just signed a new deal.

MCR	classicrock.teamrock.com/news/2015-09-11...n-deal-for-new-album Jeff Lynne confirms fresh material will be launched after 15-year break Electric Light Orchestra have signed a deal with Columbia Records to release their first new material in 15 years. And mainman Jeff Lynne has vowed he’ll stick to his original values with the fresh work. The news comes after Lynn led the first ELO concert in 30 years at London’s Hyde Park in 2014 - and later confirmed he was writing again. In November he told Classic Rock the band were a “going concern,” adding: “It really felt nice to finally have my name in it, and not just by hiding behind those letters all the time. It gave me a lot more confidence.” The band’s website says: “At the time of ELO’s formation, Lynne said the goal was to create modern rock and pop songs - a goal that remains true 30 years later with the creation of new material.”
