The sound's a lot tidier than the ELO record, even though they were recorded at the same time.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:03 pm

Multi-tracked vocals to the max.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:04 pm

Making determined use of stereo.

Track 2. Ella James.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:05 pm

I believe this was a single.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:05 pm

Sounds like Roy putting on a bit of a voice.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:05 pm

Doing the John Lennon, "Alright."

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:06 pm

Tune starting to sound like Flowers in the Rain.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:06 pm

Guitar solo. I assume it's Jeff.

And now an instrument I don't recognise.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:07 pm

Piano.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:08 pm

Track 3. No Time.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:08 pm

Multi-tracked guitars. Recorder.

This sounds like Jeff.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:09 pm

This isn't very good.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:09 pm

He's doing his Ray Davies impression again.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:09 pm

This would never have got on Discovery. Colbert

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:10 pm

I can safely say that any track with Roy Wood on it is going to be overcrowded in terms of instrumentation.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:11 pm

That recorder definitely needs to have been got rid of.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:11 pm

Is this the worst song Jeff Lynne ever wrote?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:12 pm

Ending reminiscent of Above the Clouds.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:12 pm

Track 4. Don't Mess Me Up.
