ELO Part II should not be part of the Electric Light Orchestra album history. It is a seperate band on it’s own. It has nothing to do with Jeff Lynne’s band. They only cover a lot of ELO’s (Jeff Lynne’s) songs and a few ex-bandmembers play in ELO Part II.
Thanks for the comment and coming to the website my friend. We are very much aware of the history of ELO and the different configurations. We understand your point, but in the end, we are a history site and feel that ELO Part II is all part of the history of Electric Light Orchestra. Jeff Lynne’s ELO, also is very different from the original band. Nonethless, its all part of the history and discography.
Should box sets be included in the COMPILATION ALBUMS list ? ie. “Afterglow” from 1990 (later relabeled as “The Very Best of the Electric Light Orchestra”) and “Flashback” from 2000. Note there were other box sets, but those were mainly groupings of their actual studio albums.
Also should the list include the sound track album from the movie “Joyride” from 1977 ?
