Cultural Facts:

  1. Dad Said It Had No Tune: Jeff Lynne's father, a classical music buff, told him ELO's songs had "no tune." Lynne answered with this album's "Can't Get It Out of My Head," ELO's first U.S. Top 10 hit.
  2. You Can Hear the Bassists Packing Up: Eldorado was ELO's first album with a hired orchestra, and the union players quit the second their time ran out, even mid-take. Lynne joked you can hear the double bassists packing up on "Eldorado Finale."
  3. ELO's Drummer Toured With Black Sabbath: Bev Bevan, who drums on this record, later filled in for Bill Ward on Black Sabbath's 1983 Born Again tour, the one with the oversized Stonehenge stage set that inspired a famous Spinal Tap gag. Before ELO, he drummed in the Move.
