ELECTRICLIGHT ORCHESTRA Sincethe Electric Light orchestra's debut album in 1972,the lnglish group led by guitar- ist, c0mposer,vocalist and songwriter Jeff Lynne, has been an innovatingfurce at everystep of theircareer. Begunas an experimenklattempt to usestrings and some classical influences in the contextof a rockand roll group,ELo has become one 0I the giantsof today'smusic scene, bothcommercially and artistically. Withtheir n€w album "A NewWorld Record," the group's lourth "gold" album in a row, coupledwith theirlast tour leaturinq sell-0uts across the UnitedStates, ELo's superstar credentialsare beyond question.
