Review: Very good product - I already had 1 ELO greatest hits CD but it was only 1 CD and has about 15 songs on it. I am very impressed with this one. There is a lot of great music here that I had not heard before plus all of their great hits also. Review: The best 2 disc collection of E.L.O. hits I could find!!! - After reading reviews in order not to be to repetitive I realized there are 2 "Essential Electric Light Orchestra" C.D.'s being reviewed !!! This review refers to the 2 disc newer release!!! When ever a publisher or producer is pressed with the task of making a "Greatest Hits" or "Best Of" with a band that has had huge success & is prolific having a massive song catalogue it becomes a daunting task! I chose this 2 disc collection of E.L.O.'s hit songs because it appears to be the most complete collection available. It doe's a great job covering their past hits & manages to include some of their comeback material. With E.L.O.'s comeback having some great songs, songs I would consider instant classic's I could easily see in the near future the necessity to create two double disc "Greatest Hits Volume #1 & #2". As far as the sound quality of this C.D. "The Essential Electric Light Orchestra" it is great!!! I don't know if they digitally remastered from the original recordings, but I can tell you that when played on a good stereo system you can hear everything crisp and clear & the voice & instruments are recorded on different tracks coming from your center speaker & right & left & rear channel's so during certain songs you get that swirling effect. The music is not just louder but very clear in high fidelity & very well mixed. This is especially important when dealing with a band like E.L.O. who are well recognized for the layering of sound & the diverse cacophony of sounds they throw at you. I guess it all depends on what level of E.L.O. fan you are. I considered going box set but I think this particular collection of songs along with a couple of their newer C.D.s' will satisfy my E.L.O. needs. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005JJ0GL0 | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,477 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #2,821 in Rock (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,133) | | Date First Available | August 30, 2011 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 22835378 | | Label | Legacy Recordings | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Legacy Recordings | | Number of discs | 2 | | Original Release Date | 2011 | | Product Dimensions | 5.58 x 0.41 x 4.91 inches; 4 ounces | | Run time | 2 hours and 24 minutes | ## Images ![The Essential Electric Light Orchestra - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jseOTNAYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good product *by A***R on December 26, 2025* I already had 1 ELO greatest hits CD but it was only 1 CD and has about 15 songs on it.
