Stripped down version of ELO’s classic let’s you hear both the Beatles influence and instrumental genius of ELO’s Jeff Lynne in action. You can hear occasional background vocals coming in around 2:40 mark as well. “Telephone Line” appeared on the 1976 album A New World Record.
PIANO/KEYBOARDS (Jeff Lynne, Richard Tandy), DRUMS (Bev Bevan), STRINGS (Mik Kaminski, Hugh McDowell, Melvyn Gale, plus orchestra conducted by Louis Clark), BACKING VOCALS (Mary Thomas, Patti Quatro, Brie Brandt):
Amazing. My first, no, second album ever, not counting stuff I culled from my parents. I knew every note, or thought I did. Thanks!
