Members RockPianoman Posted December 19, 2014 Members Share Posted December 19, 2014 This is Jeff Lynne's favorite guitar......1974 Gibson Les Paul Gold Top with P-90's.... Jeff Lynne was more than a member of Electric Light Orchestra......he WAS Electric Light Orchestra (he wrote and sang and played guitar on most of their songs).....Richard Tandy played piano and synths......they used soooooo many synthesizer sounds......when Jeff Lynne stepped out of ELO to produce records, the remaining members formed Electric Light Orchestra - Part Two but without Jeff Lynne singing, it never really sounded like ELO..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_Light_Orchestra http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Lynne http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electri...ra_discography Some albums Jeff Lynne produced were: I think he produced many of the ELO albums..... I'm sure he produced all his solo albums as well and these: Tom Petty - Full Moon Fever George Harrison - Cloud 9 Del Shannon - Rock On ! Roy Orbison - Mystery Girl (And I think) Both Travelling Willburys albums and I'm sure there were many more..... He has a way to put "his sound" on everything he touches....his chord changes are thought provoking and always interesting as are his lyrics.... Electric Light Orchestra - Out Of The Blue was written in 3 1/2 weeks in Switzerland (amazing accomplishment) I like the whole album..... ELO's best albums were from "A New World Record" in 1976 forward.... "Out Of The Blue" was released in 1977 ELO - Out Of The Blue (Full Album) Courtesy of YouTube.....(2 record set) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...ph6ZbFPl-1UgMz This is one of those album covers that was really cool on vinyl.... CD and cassette album covers are so small....he was trying to combine a spaceship with the look of a classic jukebox....you'll see this on some other album covers as well.....

Members jtr654 Posted December 20, 2014 Members Share Posted December 20, 2014 That's probably one of the 1st reissue Goldtops from 1968 or a original 56? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RockPianoman Posted December 20, 2014 Author Members Share Posted December 20, 2014 1974....I'm not sure if it's a re-issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Danhedonia Posted December 21, 2014 Members Share Posted December 21, 2014 Don't forget his tenure in the Move - a terrific band in their own right who had links to Cheap Trick, ELO and others. "California Man" is still 4evah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RockPianoman Posted December 21, 2014 Author Members Share Posted December 21, 2014 That's true....that was before ELO....he's been playing a long time..... You never hear anything by The Move on the radio..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted December 22, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 22, 2014 I believe Jeff's Gold Top is actually a 72, there's a brilliant documentary somewhere and a lot of it is shot in his house, it's one of those houses that looks like a random warren, but round every corner there is a niche or a little alcove with a piano, guitar, mandolin, cello, and all manner of instruments in it.

Members Tall Posted December 22, 2014 Members Share Posted December 22, 2014 I have usually seen him playing acoustic or a Tele but his LP is famous. This guy is like the Albert Einstein and Richard Petty of music rolled into one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This little documentary show's his contribution to the Wilbury project. I especially like the bit where he talks about writing a song with Roy Orbison.
