The Classic Albums Collection

~ Release by Electric Light Orchestra (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

The individual discs of the release are numbered from 88697873262-1 to 88697873262-11.
2011 box set containing all of the group's studio albums 1971-86. All eleven albums, in vinyl replica sleeves, are stacked in a big fold-out cardboard box. A booklet with track listings and information is also included. All albums are the remastered versions with bonus tracks; the vinyl replica design does not indicate that, and the correct track listings can therefore only be found in the booklet.

Track Duration of Title 2-3 (Roll over Beethoven) is incorrect. There exists a 8:10 version on some versions of ELO II & on the 3 disc compilation 'Afterglow', but on this release the title's duration is only 7:04.
