Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) were a British rock group from Birmingham who released eleven studio albums between 1971 and 1986 and another album in 2001. Sold over 50 million records worldwide during the groups active period of recording and touring.

“Don’t Bring Me Down” is a song by the band Electric Light Orchestra, and is the last track from their 1979 album Discovery. It is their highest charting hit in the US to date.

All Over the World: The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra is a compilation album by the Electric Light Orchestra, released in 2005.
Overview
The album concentrates on the band’s biggest singles released between late 1973 and 1983. The albums The Electric Light Orchestra, ELO 2, Eldorado, and Balance of Power were not represented on the compilation. A companion album Ticket to the Moon: The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra Volume 2 featuring additional hit singles and deeper album cuts was released in 2007.

Release and reception
Originally released exclusively in the band’s home market (the UK), the album sold very well, becoming the ELO’s first Top Ten entry since Dino Record’s compilation album The Very Best of the Electric Light Orchestra hit number 4 in 1994. All Over the World sold over 300,000 copies in the UK alone within a year and a half of its release.

The album was repackaged with new album art and re-released on 30 May 2011, once more reaching the UK top ten. It sold 848,021 copies by December 2014.

Following the band’s appearance at the Glastonbury Festival in the legends slot in 2016, the album re-entered the chart, reaching No. 1 in the week ending 4 August 2016, and passed its million sales mark 11 years after its release.

All tracks written by Jeff Lynne.
