Eldorado: A Symphony by the Electric Light Orchestra, ELO's fourth studio album, arrived in September 1974 in the US on United Artists and a month later in the UK. Jeff Lynne produced, and it's the record where his dream of welding rock and pop to classical arrangements really goes widescreen, with Bev Bevan on drums and Richard Tandy on keyboards.

The subtitle isn't just talk: strings surge and fall back around Lynne's melodies, and the result is part art rock, part progressive pop, part heady daydream. "Can't Get It Out of My Head" is the ballad at its core, a gorgeous, floating thing. After Roy Wood's exit in 1972, this is the sound of Lynne firmly in charge of his own orchestra.
