There was a falling out between Lynne and former band members including Bev Bevan. I think I'm right in that Bevan went onto form ELO Part 2 without Lynne, which split ELO fans in two....the Jeff Lynne fans...and the strictly ELO fans who who cursed Lynne for having deserted them. |

But why didn't he drum on ELO's last album?
Bev Bevan also turned up on Jasper Carrot’s recent TV show. (Which is sort of expected as they a close Warwickshire mates). I was once at a wedding where Bev Bevan was a guest. The bride's father was a big name in the football world, so a lot of famous footballers were present. Bev Bevan was strolling around and nobody had recognised him. He was delighted when one of my friends went up to him and said, "I know you. You're Bev Bevan, aren’t you?". Bev was delighted to be recognised, but all was lost when my friend continued, "Yes, I remember when you played for Aston Villa!". |

What happened to Bev Bevan. I thought he was ELO's drummer? |

By the way, does anyone know why Lynne and Co stuck with that awful recording of 'Free as a Bird' when there were several much, much clearer versions in circulation? They must have known about them. I know Yoko gave them a 'cassette tape' - was that really it?? - but in spite of all the moans they made about having to remove the clicks (none on the bootleg versions I've got) and all other kinds of problems, they didn't just say 'Let's use the clean one'? It's always puzzled me. It was the same with 'Real Love' - there was even a clean acoutic version of that on the official movie soundtrack 'Imagine' as well as several other very good quality recordings, and yet, once again, they used that really muddy-sounding demo.
Hated 'Real Love' but loved Free As A Bird...the video was very good too.
Oh the video was wonderful, the director must be so proud of that.
