One to add to my ELO collection, not my favourite but needed for completeness

Where can we buy this? I don't see any remastered Xanadu s from 2008. I only see 1998.

Mastered by Bernie Grundman! This movie is the bridge from the 70s to the 80s in so many ways. The soundtrack is better than the movie.

On my copy, someone has taken a marker to the inner sleeve and written "No talent jerk" next to John Farrar's picture :)

Side A - Excellent / clean pressing. Soundstage and instrument separation are solid.

Side B - Zero mastering - sounds awful. Ill-defined and lifeless.

Artwork is excellent - super heavy-gauge artwork, which Japan pressings always excel at.

The content deserves 5 stars, but the recording and pressing are probably closer to 3.5: dynamics are just a little lacking and the vinyl itself is not the quietest. Still, overall a nice release to have in the collection.

Scoop this up if you’re lucky enough to come across it in good condition at a reasonable price these days. Fantastic, dynamic, absolutely knock-out quality.
