If your speakers happen to be broken, then with the amount of the dodgy perms that are on display here you could be forgiven for thinking that it’s a 1981 fourth division football team’s crack at an FA cup final single. All it lacks is Dave Beasant acting the goat somewhere in the background.
But no sir. It is in fact the Electric Light Orchestra with a tune that once again harks back to Jeffman’s whippersnapper days. He was a mere four when this came out.
From the otherwise slightly lacklustre 1979 album Discovery (apart from the Beatlesque ‘Don’t Bring Me Down’ of course) it is ‘The Diary Of Horace Wimp’.
A song that catches the ELO sound at its finest since their early to mid-seventies heyday.
Enjoy
