Today we’re proud to release a new singles collection bringing together the early output of one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful bands ever to come out of the UK – the Electric Light Orchestra.

‘The UK Singles Vol. One: 1972-1978’ collects the band’s first hits and b-sides as they were originally available, on fifteen 45 RPM singles plus 1978’s ‘The ELO LP’.
