Face the Music was released in 1975, producing the hit singles " Evil Woman " and " Strange Magic ".

The opening instrumental " Fire On High ", with its mix of strings and blazing acoustic guitars, saw heavy exposure as background music on CBS Sports Spectacular montages, though most viewers had no idea of the song's origins.

The group toured extensively from 3 February till 13 April 1976 promoting the album in the US, playing 68 shows in 76 days ( see Face the Music ).

It was on the American tour that ELO first debuted their use of coloured lasers.
