Two sides of 1970s England | Picking from Jamie's Collection

On this special episode of Vinyl Verdict, Bell and Plouffe have teamed up to pick two albums from Jamie's collection! Bell's pick is the Electric Light Orchestra's "A New World Record", their sixth, and perhaps most successful album, released in 1976. This album spawned four hit singles - Do Ya, Livin' Thing, Telephone Line, and Rockaria! and went to number one here in Canada. A fun record incorporating elements of orchestral accompaniment, the 70s rock sound and opera, critics enjoyed the nods to The Beatles, the juxtaposition between faster tracks and the more slow, haunting numbers and the sophistication of production. In comparison, Plouffe's pick, Elvis Costello's "My Aim is True", his first album, released in 1977, is sparse in production. In comparison to ELO's huge, sprawling sound and epic length to their songs, "My Aim is True" features many songs less than three minutes long, some shorter than two minutes. A mix of what might be called New Wave, Punk and Pub Rock, the album was a massive success. Despite being released only a year apart and both band being from the UK, the two albums sound almost nothing alike. What will the boys think of their picks from Jamie's collection? Will this be a rare episode where Vinyl Verdict is in complete agreement? Come along and find out!
