When Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne started the Electric Light Orchestra project (after the Move), the manifesto was clear – "Pick up where the Beatles left off" – and for the next eight years, they did exactly that.ĭebut single, 10538 Overture, was a fairly straight tribute to the Beatles, but the following albums No Answer and ELO II managed to build on the heavily orchestrated, guitar-packed, trippy sounds of 10538 Overture, retaining their own identity.
