Rock and roll at its absolute peak.

The reproductive sounds of silliness.

Moving from strength to strength.
The 1988 solo that was never good enough for Traveling Wilburys: “Wasn’t my best”
The right player with the wrong track.

Reading the room in the wrong way.
The 1972 Rolling Stones song that took 150 takes to become a classic: “That was a marathon”
In the studio for days on end.
The 1977 song Jeff Lynne will always regret singing: “It’s not any good”
Well outside of his standards.
