Sony Legacy to Release US Versions of First Two ELO Albums

For those who haven't heard the remastered versions of ELO's No Answer (1972) and ELO II (1973) issued in the UK, Sony Legacy will be releasing US versions in March. Both albums will include bonus tracks, although neither will be as comprehensive as the UK versions.

If these versions use the same remastered tapes, fans are in for a treat. Compared to the original CD issues, all of the songs deliver a much-improved aural impact, and in the case of ELO II, reveal an amazing level of musicianship and artistry, especially considering they were performed live in the studioo.
