6/25/83:Dave Edmunds - Slipping Away ELO - Rock´n Roll Is King I just wish Casey Kasem would've said Richard Tandy played synthesizer, then Jeff Lynne wrote and produced "Slipping Away" by Dave Edmunds at #39 on 7/30/83, especially when ELO's "Rock 'n' Roll Is King" was at #24 that very same week! Dave Edmunds once said that he really wanted to work with Jeff Lynne at that time because he was considered "Mr Techno" and he wanted to modernize his sound. And to "Rock and Roll Is King": Especially with Rock and Roll it must also be seen that there was also a big Rockabilly revival at the beginning of the 80s. So Jeff Lynne could indulge his old love and add something new to it at the same time.

I just wish Casey Kasem would've said Richard Tandy played synthesizer, then Jeff Lynne wrote and produced "Slipping Away" by Dave Edmunds at #39 on 7/30/83, especially when ELO's "Rock 'n' Roll Is King" was at #24 that very same week! Dave Edmunds once said that he really wanted to work with Jeff Lynne at that time because he was considered "Mr Techno" and he wanted to modernize his sound. And to "Rock and Roll Is King": Especially with Rock and Roll it must also be seen that there was also a big Rockabilly revival at the beginning of the 80s. So Jeff Lynne could indulge his old love and add something new to it at the same time. That Rockabilly revival began for ELO with their last Top 10 hit single "Hold On Tight" back between July-October 1981, Casey Kasem even compared its lead vocal and piano to Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis respectively on 10/31/1981! BillboardELO / Time Producer(s): Jeff Lynne Jet FZ37371 (CBS) Originally reviewed for week ending 8/8/81 ELO continues its immaculate fusion of classically influenced rock with mainstream pop on this concept LP about life in the 21st century. Jeff Lynne's lyrics are witty and playful ("Yours Truly, 2095") and poignantly emotion ("Rain Is Falling," "The Lights Go Down"). The music, as could be expected, is full of textural lushness, atmospheric splendor and vibrant. While other artists have conceptualized in music sci-fi fantasy, most of the time it came off as overly serious. Lynne on the other hand doesn't take himself as seriously and as a result nearly each song stands on its own. The instrumental "Another Heart Breaks" is a highlight as is the rockbilly-edged single "Hold On Tight." While the Moody Blues sounded incredibly like ELO on "Gemini Dream," ELO sounds much like the Moodies here. Best cuts: Those mentioned plus "Twilight," "Ticket To The Moon."
