Reposted from @waxlyricalvinyl (@get_regrann) - This album brings back fond memories of my teen years. I remember playing my big sister's cassette copy of this album every time she left the house. I think it’s my fave ELO album, but that could change tomorrow. @jefflynneselo #discovery #elo #jefflynneselo Discovery was the band's first number 1 album in the UK, entering the chart at that position and staying there for five weeks. The album contained five hit songs in "Shine a Little Love", "Don't Bring Me Down", "Last Train to London", "Confusion" and "The Diary of Horace Wimp", many of which were heavily influenced by disco (in fact, Richard Tandy came up with its well-known nickname, Disco Very). "Don't Bring Me Down" would become one of their only two top three hits in the UK throughout their career ("Xanadu" would be number one in 1980), and also their highest-charting US single at number 4. "The Diary of Horace Wimp" was also a hit single in the UK, not patterned after the disco sound; instead it was closer in its Beatlesque style to the band's earlier hit "Mr. Blue Sky". The album itself was the first ever to generate four top-ten singles (one of which was a Double A-side) from a single LP in the UK and was eventually certified 2x platinum by the RIAA in 1997. #33rpm #vinyljunkie #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #vinyladdiction #vinylclub #vinylcommunity #vinylporn #vinyllove #vinylgram #vinylcollective #vinylrecord #vinyllover #vinylcollectionpost #vinyladdict #vinyligclub #colouredvinyl #instavinyl #nowspinning #ihaveathingforvinyl #cratedigging #recordcollector #nowplaying #melbournevinylscene #memes https://www.instagram.com/p/B4uxzL9J_9f/?igshid=o3szd92p0yaq
