The Birmingham Heart Beat Charity Concert 1986 was a charity concert organised by Bevan in ELO's hometown of Birmingham on 15 March 1986.

Although the biggest hit on the album ( and ELO's biggest hit overall ) was the rock song " Don't Bring Me Down ", the album was noted for its heavy disco influence.

Lynne, Bevan and Tandy returned to the studio in 1985 as a three-piece ( with Christian Schneider playing saxophone on some tracks ) to record ELO's final album of the 20th century, Balance of Power, released early in 1986.

ELO's last performance of the century occurred on 13 July 1986 in Stuttgart, Germany playing as support band to Rod Stewart.

Initial copies of ELO's 1986 album Balance of Power were pressed on the Jet label in some European countries, but this mistake was corrected by CBS and the album was then issued throughout Europe on its Epic label.

ELO's early live performances were chaotic, and after increasing tensions, Wood left in July 1972 and formed a new group, Wizzard, which assembled cellists, brass players and a bigger rhythm section, with several drummers and percussionists.

American reissues by CBS of ELO's 1972 to 1983 albums continued to show the Jet logo until 1990.

The title track, performed by both Newton-John and ELO, is ELO's only song to top the singles chart in the United Kingdom.

The album grouped Olivia Newton-John ( ONJ ) and ELO's songs into the opposite sides of the album, and some tunes were excluded from the album.

Deciding he wanted to head off in a different musical direction, Wood left, taking band members Bill Hunt ( keyboards and french horn ) and Hugh McDowell ( cello ), as well as ELO's sound engineer, Trevor Smith, with him, to form Wizzard.

While the two preceding ELO albums, Discovery and Xanadu, were heavily influenced by pop and disco, Time is much closer to ELO's roots of progressive rock music.

In an early 1980s Rolling Stone magazine interview, Steve Winwood said that ELO's Time had influenced him.

Ladyhawke has stated that ELO's Time is one of her five favourite albums.

It was while playing with Barefoot in Birmingham that he was spotted by ELO's Jeff Lynne ; and after Lynne, Bev Bevan and Richard Tandy had watched him play, he was invited to join ELO, to replace Mike de Albuquerque, who had recently left the band.

Lynne's comeback with ELO began in 2000 with the release of a retrospective box set, Flashback, containing three CDs of remastered tracks and a handful of out-takes and unfinished works, most notably a new version of ELO's only UK number one hit " Xanadu ".
