    Jeff Lynne can do it all. Play multiple instruments, write, sing, produce, engineer and diagnose those complex musical arrangements in his head so they can be played.
    He is like a Jedi Master.

      @ You heard wrong :) Richard Tandy played keyboards, Moog synthesizers, mini-Moogs, etc. Boston was the band that said they never used synthesizers despite some of Tom Scholz's guitar effects sounding as if they were produced by a synth, but ELO never made any such claim

      If you have the chance to listen the recent "Wembley or Bust" it's actually better than the studio albums - the execution is astonishing. With the benefit of technology that wasn't available 45 years ago - they do the whole thing live - it's absolutely stunning". With a band / orchestra of that size I guess it had to be a venue as big as Wembley to make it worthwhile. And it's definitely worthwhile.

    Back when this song came out, I was at my uncle’s house and my cousin was playing this song on a reel to reel tape. Some time after that, I had a chance to choose a tape to get from the Columbia House Record and Tape Club. I thought of this song, but thought it was “Turn to Stop”. I looked through the catalog for albums available in reel format, and came across this album with “Turn to Stone” on it. I took a chance that it was the correct album, and it was. And what a great album it was.

    I grew up listening to ELO's Time album. Every song fades to the next. It's a story album. It's not a popular album but it's definitely my favorite. My dad has it on record, 8 track. I had it on cassette and CD and now mp3. My brother has it too. It's a family affair. You make me so happy listening to you reacting to them. So cool man!
