Electric Light Orchestra - Eldorado - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA / ELDORADO - Eldorado (subtitled A Symphony by the Electric Light Orchestra) is the fourth studio album by the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). It was originally released in 1974. Eldorado is the first complete ELO concept album; bandleader Jeff Lynne conceived the storyline before he wrote any music. The plot follows a Walter Mitty-like character who journeys into fantasy worlds via dreams, to escape the disillusionment of his mundane reality. Lynne began to write the album in response to criticisms from his father, a classical music lover. The influence of The Beatles is prevalent, especially in the melody of the verse of InchMister KingdomInch which to some degree resembles the Beatles' InchAcross the UniverseInch. Album Tracks 1.
