Electric Light Orchestra & Jeff Lynne - Original Album Classics (5CD Box Sets, 2018)

Sony Music have released a new 5CD from their Original Album Classics series which compiles the albums "Armchair Theatre," "Zoom," "Long Wave," "Mr. Blue Sky: The Very Best Of Electric Light Orchestra" and "Electric Light Orchestra Live." These albums were previously released by Frontiers in 2012 and 2013, but went OOP when Jeff Lynne released "Alone In The Universe" and returned to touring. Despite the joy of having these CDs back in print, there are some differences with regards to bonus content. For example, the "Zoom" CD on this set omits the bonus tracks 'One Day' and the live version of 'Turn To Stone.' The "Armchair Theatre" CD on this set omits the bonus tracks 'Borderline' and 'Forecast.' The "Live" CD on this set omits the bonus tracks 'Out Of Luck' and 'Cold Feet.'
