And Then Along Came Jeff



Here is yet another gem from the vaults. I've actually had this sitting in iTunes for awhile, I just wasn't aware of it. I acquired about 5 hours of Move/Roy/ELO rarities some time ago, mostly BBC related, and just never went through it all. But thanks to the Roy book....

According to the book, "Falling Forever" was a Jeff Lynne track written and recorded for "Looking On" (or was it "Message From The Country?" I forgot already), but didn't quite feel right at the time. If a studio version exists, I can't find it. But this version from the BBC is pretty damn good for now.

What a killer track. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, great tune. Stylistically sounds most like something Jeff would have contributed to "Shazam!" with those psychedelic harmonies.

Wish this could've been on the American Hustle soundtrack instead of Long Black Road
