You know Zoom was really a Jeff Lynne solo album but they
called it ELO< the album kind of bombed, true Richard Tandy played
on a few cuts, but it was a solo album. They used the name ELO
to sell more copies, and it didin't work.
I wonder if this is why there has been the long delay. If the ELO name
couldn't move units, and guest appearances by Harrison and Starr
what chance does a solo release under the name Jeff Lynne have of
striking hot sales.
I love the guys work, he isin't hurting for money, so I look forward to it also
but in theory at least,they do try and release money making product via the
record company.
