New World Record

Electric Light Orchestra's A New World Record from 1976 delivers orchestral pop rock with sweeping string arrangements, layered harmonies, and Jeff Lynne's distinctive production style. The album showcases ELO's signature blend of Beatles-influenced melodies with classical instrumentation, creating lush, cinematic songs that range from intimate ballads to driving rock anthems.
