A box set featuring reproductions of 15 vinyl singles recorded by Electric Light Orchestra between 1972 and 1978 is to be released later this year.
The collection will also feature The ELO EP on 7-inch vinyl and will launch on September 21 via Legacy Recordings.
All 15 singles on The UK Singles Volume One: 1972-1978 will include the original b-sides and every track has been remastered from the analogue source tapes. Each disc also features reproductions of the original sleeves and labels from the era.
In addition, Legacy Recordings have announced plans to reissue ELO’s 1983 album Secret Messages on 12-inch vinyl on August 3 to mark its 35 anniversary.
It will include the full album along with six previously unreleased tracks “all with cutting-edge synthesisers as well as up-front guitar mastery.”
Pre-order details for both will be revealed in due course, while the cover art and tracklist for the box set can be found below, along with Jeff Lynne's ELO's upcoming live dates.
