Good video. There is one more item I would like to mention. Although not Jet, it is ELO-related and did come out around this time. So in 1976, the film All This and World War II came out. It was a film that had old WW2 era films with covers of Beatles music overlayed on top. The film was a huge bomb (Fox had to pull it out of theaters within 2 weeks) but the soundtrack was a decent hit. Said soundtrack has solo recording by both Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood. Roy does covers of Lovely Rita and Polythene Pam, while Jeff does a medley of With A Little Help From My Friends and Nowhere Man. The soundtrack also features fellow Jet label mate Lynsey De Paul, along with other non-ELO-related acts (The Bee Gees, Elton John, Peter Gabriel, etc.) I can see why you didn't mention it, because its not on Jet (20th Century Fox Records in America and Riva in the UK, with Warner Bros distributing in Europe) but I thought it was important enough to add. Still doesn't detract from how good the video is.
Many thanks for your nice comments, I was only vaguely aware of this LP, but as I do not have it I didn't mention it here or else-ware in my other videos. One other item you might be interested in from around 1976 was ELO’s contribution to a little know movie called ’Joyride’ which features existing ELO songs and Barry Mann. ELO’s contributions are from the LP’s Eldorado’ & ‘A New World record’ includes ‘Can’t Get It Out Of My Head’ ‘Tightrope’ ‘Boy Blue’ ‘So Fine’ ‘Telephone Line’ and ‘Rockaria’ I don't have this either but it was released on United Artist label in the USA. Apparently Don Arden agreed to include ELO on the soundtrack to toughen up their image! Cheers Andy
