Description
A New World Record is the sixth studio album by Electric Light Orchestra, released in 1976. The second album to be recorded at Musicland Studios in Munich, the LP proved to be the band's long awaited breakthrough in the UK: after seeing their previous three studio recordings fail to chart in their home market. A New World Record became their first top ten album in the UK. It became a huge global success and would consolidate the band's position as one of the biggest selling rock bands in the world, reaching multi-platinum status in the US and UK. The album sold five million units worldwide within its first year of release. The cover art features the famous ELO logo, designed by Kosh, for the first time. This logo would be included on most of the group's subsequent releases. The album included the hit singles "Telephone Line," which became the band's first gold US single, "Livin Thing," and "Do Ya" (US); and "Rockaria!" (UK). The focus is more on shorter pop songs, a trend which would continue throughout the rest of ELO's future albums. Addie Lee, along with Suzi Quatro's sister Patti, then also Brie Brandt, the latter 2 of Fanny, sang uncredited backing vocals at various points on this entire album. This is the extremely RARE 1976 UK Limited Edition "Red color" Vinyl Pressing on the Jet Label. The catalog # on the spine is: JETLP 200. Record is visually graded by Goldmine standards as EX+. The cover is graded as EX+. Cover is still rich in color, no fading! I have never played this vinyl, as with all my color vinyls, due to their inferior sound qualities. I collect them as they are rare and "works of art" to me. I also have this copy on US vinyl, cassette and now cd. Record was stored in a heavy duty anvil case since 2006 and comes from a smoke/pet free home. Shipped following business day as soon as payment is received. Media Mail ($6) will take 3 to 5 weeks due to being shipped by boat from Hawaii..not air! Priority Mail is $11, not $7 from Hawaii. International bidders please contact.
