Armchair Theatre

Jeff Lynne s first solo album, Armchair Theatre, is a melting pot of different styles and influences featuring unexpected collaborations with Lynne s heroes and close friends, including Tom Petty, Richard Tandy and George Harrison. This reissue, unavailable for the last decade, includes two previously unreleased bonus tracks, Borderline and Forecast. Interestingly, the album also features a few notable covers Don t Let Go, Stormy Weather and September Song that demonstrated Lynne s flair for covers two decades before the release of 2012 s acclaimed Long Wave. Armchair Theatre captures the musical genius of Jeff Lynne when perhaps more than ever before, the world was his stage.
