Album Club: ELO - A New World Record
Steve Lamacq plays ELO's 1976 album A New World Record in full. Join the conversation via #6MusicAlbumClub.
Released in September 1976, ELO's A New World Record was the band's 6th studio album and was a record that marked the shift towards shorter 'pop' songs. Indeed, Jeff Lynne noted that his song writing hit a peak on this album.
A New World Record became the band's first top ten album in the UK and reached multi-platinum status in the US and UK, selling five million units worldwide within its first year of release. The album yielded a number of hit singles, including "Livin' Thing", "Telephone Line", "Do Ya", a remake of the 1972 single by The Move, of which Lynne was a member between 1970 and 1972.
