Jigsaw Puzzle, Hand of Fate, Stones
Re-make, Re-model
A Song for Europe Both Ends Burning Mother of Pearl Beauty Queen
Pyjamarana
In Every Dream Home (A Heartache)
Virginia Plain, Do the Strand, Editions of You

Out of the Blue, Prairie Rose, Mother of Pearl, and 82 others, a great group that never caught on this country (only Ferry's pseudo disco/soul Duran-Duranish stuff).

good call. 'Celebration Day' and 'Out on the Tiles', as well. Outside of 'Immigrant Song', this album doesn't really have songs which come to mind for most, and it just MAY be their best album.

Preachin' to the choir brother.

Here's a dark ELO flavored song

She sells LINK

from Siren 1975- this album is the main engine that drove early 80's UK sounds

She sells definitely defined an era. I personally didn't like it as much as Both Ends Burning, and obviously the USA's biggest hit, the Giorgio Moroderesque 'Love is the Drug'.
