CD Reviews

ELO: Xanadu (Remastered Version) -Only Available in UK

Jerry S. Hollis | Texas | 06/22/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"[...]

The 1998 UK-only remastered edition, taken from the original Jet Records master tapes. The most superior sounding version of all Xanadu CD's, including MCA's USA and Sony's Japanese editions.

The remastered CD's 8-page color booklet reproduces the original gatefold & inner lyric sleeves.

Fun, entertaining soundtrack for an amazingly BAD movie

Wayne Klein | My Little Blue Window, USA | 07/12/2009

(3 out of 5 stars)

"The movie "Xanadu" is, well, just plain bad. The soundtrack on the other hand has some terrific pop songs. John Farrar's track "Magic" sung by Olivia Newton-John is pure pop heaven. Most of the other tracks vary from OK to really good.

The ELO tracks sound like they belong on some sort of lost follow up to "Discovery". "I'm Alive" and "The Fall" meld gorgeous melodies to the classic ELO sound mixed with a disco beat. "Don't Walk Away" and "All Over the World" are the highlights while the title track written by Jeff Lynne and performed by Olivia Newton-John (Jeff Lynne did a version that is on the ELO boxed set)is perfect pompous pop music capturing everything that is both absurd and terrific about ELO all and ONJ.

The sound on the CD is quite good. I haven't heard the remaster from the UK."
