History

Discovery was the band's first No. 1 album in the UK, entering the chart at that position and staying there for five weeks. The LP contained five hit songs in "Shine a Little Love," "Don't Bring Me Down," "Last Train to London", "Confusion" and "The Diary of Horace Wimp", many of which were heavily influenced by disco (in fact, Richard Tandy came up with its well known nickname, Disco Very). Disco is a Genre of dance-oriented music whose origins are hard to define Richard Tandy (born 26 March 1948, in Birmingham, England) is best known as the keyboard player in the rock band Electric Light Orchestra [1] "Don't Bring Me Down" would become their only top three hit in the UK throughout their career, and also their highest-charting US single at #4. "The Diary of Horace Wimp" was also a hit single in the UK, although it was not patterned after the disco sound; instead it was closer in style to the band's earlier hit "Mr. Blue Sky.

" The album itself was the first ever to generate four top-ten singles from a single LP in the UK and was eventually certified 2x platinum by the RIAA in 1997.
