Elo (Electric Light Orchestra) was a British rock band formed in 1970 by Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood. The band's albums often featured unique and imaginative cover artwork, which helped to distinguish them from other bands of the era.
The artwork for their debut album, "No Answer," featured a telephone operator holding a phone with a question mark above her head. According to Lynne, the album was originally titled "The Electric Light Orchestra," but when the record company asked for a name, he absentmindedly muttered "no answer." The artwork was created to reflect this lack of a clear name.
The cover of "Eldorado" depicted a wizard casting a spell on a castle. The album was conceptually based on the character of "The Dreamer," who dreams of a world of wealth and glamour. The cover art was meant to reflect this fantasy theme.
Perhaps the most recognizable ELO album cover is that of "Out of the Blue," which featured a large spaceship hovering over a city skyline. The cover was designed by artist Shusei Nagaoka, who was known for his futuristic and sci-fi artwork. The package also included a 20-page booklet featuring illustrations to accompany the album's fantasy concept.
Other notable ELO album covers include the surrealist imagery of "A New World Record," which featured a hot air balloon taking off from a strange floating island, and the dramatic 3D hologram on the cover of "Discovery," which depicted a futuristic cityscape. Overall, ELO's album covers were often as imaginative and memorable as their music.
