About this album

A New World Record is Electric Light Orchestra at their most focused and accessible, turning Jeff Lynne’s orchestral ambition into some of the band’s sharpest pop writing. Released in 1976, the album pushed ELO further into the mainstream with tightly constructed songs such as Telephone Line, Livin’ Thing and Rockaria!, balancing hook-filled melodies with strings, harmonies and a gleaming studio sound. Recorded during a peak period for the band, it helped define their blend of rock, pop and symphonic detail, and remains one of the key albums in their catalogue, marking the point where their grand design met mass appeal.
