Olé ELO

~ Release by Electric Light Orchestra (see all versions of this release, 5 available)

Annotation

When this album was originally released in 1976 it included the full 8:11 version of Roll Over Beethoven at the end of Side One with the grooves ending very close to the record label. Later pressings were changed to include the 7" edit, presumably in reaction to complaints of automatic turntables lifting the arm before the track was finished playing.
