Title
The Very Best Of ELO
Format
Double Vinyl
Label
EPIC
Catalogue
466558 1
Issue Date
1991
Notes
The Best Of The Electric Light Orchestra" was released. Epic 466558 2 was the first own CBS sampler of E.L.O. in five years, but was drowned by the many other releases in 1990.
It wasn't the track selection or anything else of CBS/Epic's "The Very Best Of The Electric Light Orchestra", just bad timing.
While nine songs from the first LP almost equaled “E.L.O.'s Greatest Hits" Album track list, the second LP had more to offer. With So Serious, Getting To The Point and Secret Messages it offered songs of the late E.L.O. singles on a sampler.
Strangely missing was however Twilight, which had climbed up to No. 17 in Germany.
The LP came in plain white inner sleeves.

Notes
In 1991 a compilation album with the title "Rockaria" was released in Spain. Planeta-Agostini, by licence of Sony Music S.A., Epic RCD021-2 has the in print 'Not For Sale - Attached To "Rock"', which is giving the idea that it was only part 21 of a sort of bundle-package in the series "Rock". After 1991 however, it was freely in the shops in Spain.
