• Track Listing

Before co-founding ELO, guitarist/songwriter Roy Wood poured his pop craftsmanship and eccentric English humor into this art-rock band. Their deliciously off-kilter 1968 debut LP features the UK smashes "Flowers in the Rain" and "Fire Brigade" plus "Weekend," "Yellow Rainbow" and more. Here’s the mono mix of the LP plus five bonus cuts including the UK hit singles "I Can Hear the Grass Grow" and "Night of Fear." Deluxe edition adds a gaggle of goodies: the previously unissued "Winter Song" and "The Fugitive," a 1966 Birmingham local radio session, stereo mixes, alternate takes and a whole CD of BBC sessions: "Kilroy Was Here," "Morning Dew," "Stephanie Knows Who" and more including unreleased songs and interviews!
