For the record, it is little more than a year ago that Jeff was in the Top 10 of the album chart with Long Wave, at the same time as TWO (!) ELO 'best of' compilations (Mr Blue Sky and All Over The World) were in the Top 10.
And Chris Evans played it this morning (he obviously reads this forum). It's not one of my ELO favourites but I think the ending is fantastic. One of the very few times I think one of my versions was better than the original is my I Can't Get It Out Of My Head.

No, you're not. It is an irritating record with a overblown sound an insipid lyric. Not knocking Jeff Lynne though, he is immensely gifted and for a while was his own Beatles.
