He also concluded that even though ELO was being influenced by The Beatles, Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne's voices sounded "nothing like the lovable mop-tops" and that "added to the very full sound the orchestra get", they did "sound superb". Although the single was 4 minutes long, he hoped that that fact wouldn't have deterred "folks from playing it on the radio". He noted that he thought the song somehow sounded better as a single than it did as an album track on their eponymous album and stated that both he and his wife liked the song "very much".
He noted that the song was indeed taking off where The Beatles left off and thus, it could have have had a dated sound itself, but he preferred to think of it "as a dormant sound that has been awoken". His review of their first single " 10538 Overture", on a 1972 number of Disc & Music Echo was thoroughly positive. In the next couple of years he proceeded to give the band positive reviews during the first steps of the project. On the 22 April 1972 issue of Sounds when he reviewed The Move's final single " California Man", he lamented the fact that the first Electric Light Orchestra LP didn't sell "as well as it should have done". Peel did, in fact, play some of the music from the first ELO records, and there is evidence that he was interested in them at first. Lynne's earlier outfit, the Idle Race, had six Top Gear sessions and Peel was among the DJs pictured on the sleeve of their first album. The Marcus Performing Arts Center is supported in part by grants from the Milwaukee Arts Board and Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin, the National Endowment for the Arts, and Arts Midwest.According to the liner notes on "ELO II", John Peel was a fan of Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood's work with their previous band, The Move (who had two Top Gear sessions, although not with Lynne in the lineup).
