Electric Light Orchestra ~ Last Train To London 1979 Disco Purrfection Version

- "Last Train To London" was the final single issued from ELO's greatest accomplishment, "Discovery" from 1979. Their foray into disco brought a new rock element to it, different from what Donna Summer did. For me it was an easy transition since the band has always incorporated stringed and electrified strings to create their unique Beatlesque sound, right from "Showdown".
Many, many, many (about one hundred) requests have been for me to remix this one, but until recently, did not have the tech knowledge. I'm learning as I go along and try to perfect these remixes whenever I can, but in the absence of the master recording, I have to separate the vocals and the instruments. ELO's music does this perfectly, but other artists music is not as perfect sounding due to mike placements and bleed through, which is what happens when the song is recorded live with everyone in the studio and the instruments/vocals can be heard in the background of the other tracks. It does not make for a clean sound so I am not able to remix certain songs until I figure out how to correct that.
Its a great song that peaked at #39 in the summer of 1980 but has gained a huge audience since then and become a classic. If you like this one, I think that "Diary Of Horace Wimp" could follow sometime soon.
Jeff Lynne is a musical genius, and now is recognized as such in Cats mixes. Keep em coming I can't get enough of this band.
Totally agree!
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU.
Totally agree, man. It's few for you
Me to
Band one song...😂
I know this album by heart. It was on rotation in my high school bus - on 8-track. The other choices were Abba - Voulez Vous, Supertramp - Breakfast In America, Trooper - Hot Shots, Pat Benatar's first release, and a few k-tel issues of the day.
But I really want tonight to last forever...
Ah ha ha K-Tel and Pocket Fisherman commercials we grew up in great times
God bless you
One of their many underrated hits. This and Can't Get It Outta My Head are secret bangers.

Two of my favourites 🖤
What a wonderful song of quality ! !
It reminds me childhood souvenirs !
Definitivamente esta es una obra maestra no sólo de la música Disco, sino de la música moderna en general. Uno de los temas más bellos que he escuchado en toda mi vida
Asi es ,es una belleza de cancion..
.but I really want tonight to last forever.....🎸🎶🎶🪕🎻🎺🎷🥁
Perfectamente dicho amigo , las noches de disco,los amigos , las desveladas y a trabajar a la oficina temprano otro día después de la fiesta , verdad? Saludos amigo
To me, I think elo were a very underrated band. They had many top 40 hits and it's a shame they never hit #1
🎯… so many hits! Love me some Electric Light Orchestra and Jeff Lynne ♥️🎶!!
Totally agree with you 💯💯
This reminds me of my last year in high school. Great times!!
Thank you!!
Well I'm a " Brummie " from Birmingham, England. Just like the brilliant ELO are. I remember this in the charts in '79. They probably got the train from New Street, Birmingham to get down to Euston in London.
A fantastic mix yet again DJ DiscoCat, have to be honest here it's a pity this mix wasn't on this album. Thanks once again .
Yeah Paul, both equally beautiful and romantic railway stations I know well ! :-D
@@traceya9615 hi Tracey, yes I've travelled up and down that line between those two stations many a time.
This is a route I have done often. Reminds me of a dear friend in Solihull.
ELO...one of the greatest bands ever...the lyrics. the music. the strings. the orchestration....absolutely AMAZING!!!!...Mr. Jeff Lyne...such a terrific musician.....greetings from Tegucigalpa,Honduras.
I absolutely love ELO and this song captures a specific joyous mood, of doing what I love, never mind tomorrow. Thank you!
Quelle merveilleuse chanson de qualité ! !
Elle me rappelle des souvenirs d'enfance !
Oh wow -- that drop to just the base lines and drums in the first 40 seconds was so good! Remains one of my favorite feel-good songs from '79.
Agreed it’s intoxicating
I’m over the moon with this extended version of my favorite ELO track ! Mr. Jeff Lynne is a genius who always stays in tune with his creativity whether for ELO or his collaborations with Roy Orbison, George Harrison, Olivia Newton John or the Travelling Wilburys. Thanks for reworking DJDiscoCat !
Since I've first heard this song... I was 11 years old in 1993 and these parts around 4:50 and 6:35 echoed in my head for years. Before I rediscovered it, first I had to study English (I'm Brazilian) and get access to internet.
Always loved this tune and always will.🥰 Thank you for this version, like the others always expanding the possibilities created by the artists.👍
I’m with you 100%…..I was 11 as well, and ELO past me by for a good few years till I realised how damn good they were 👍🇮🇲
Glad you were able to find the song, mate!!!
Jeff the best, such a masterpiece, just great , wordless.
Uno de mis temas Disco archifavoritos. Este tema es según mi concepto de lo.mas fino y clásico de la Música Disco. Bellisima canción
Yo me quiero volver a esos hermosos años de mi vida cuando éramos felices y no lo sabíamos
Muy cierto.
Túnez del tiempo imaginario

One of my favorite songs by them. Bring back good memories
GREAT SONG. Fantastic bass lines.
One of the best ELO songs. Thet knew how to write and make music from Jeff Lynn. I love to dance and sing to this one. Great job.
OMG!!! THANK YOU for one of the requests. You made my day. Today would have been my Grandparents 83rd Anniversary, Tomorrow my parents 62nd Anniversary and of course, 13 years ago we lost Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. THANK YOU for the cheer
One of my favorite songs. Thanks
Gracias a DJdiscoCat por compartir este extendido de ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA de 1979 que siguie vigente en este 2022
Así es, tan vigente como su incomparable album "Discovery" al cual pertenece esta buenisima canción.
@@maggybenavides1004 asi es maggy lo amamos tanto a esta cancion que por mi yo lo apoyare siempre asta el ultimo dia de mi vida para esta cancion siempre este vigente
@@maggybenavides1004 ...I really want tonight to last forever, I really wanna be with you....dancing...🎵🎼🎶🎷🪕🎻🎺🎺🎹🎸
Very well done! I hope the copyright trolls can let DiscoCat’s remix of “Shine A Little Love” surface on TH-cam. This mixture is terrific!
Also, that is my favorite.
Horace Wimp!!, great news... may be Dont Bring me Down or Lights go down or The way lifes meant to be.. Thanks again , great work!
You did real good on this one, par d excellence...
Excelente. Excepicional.
Maravilhosa melodia.

Quand la musique était dansante.
Bravo pour ce maxi 45 tours....
Jeff Lynne is the truest astounding master lyricist, genius of melody. He’s produced so many A-list musicians, it’s crazy not many know this!
But of course he shares my bday 😍!
Fr real though I made it a point to ride the “Last Train To London” (from Edinburgh Waverley) while I was there last year…. 🥰
Love ELO
They had soooooo many big hits
Hard to chose the right one to remix but perhaps any and all
You did awesome !!!!!
ELO's one and only disco hit...hug it...savor it...relish it ! 😊
wow what an awesome song...never heard of it till now..thanks
Finally :-) You brought this masterpiece to it's full glory. Thank You very much.
An absolute favorite! Discovery was a great album with so many hits but this song was special to me because of its theme, lyrics and melody. Thank you for this marvelous extended version.
Brilliant 💯.
Amazing bass line

I enjoyed it. Thanks for expanding it! The chorus is catchy and my favorite part of the song.
Das antigas porém atual!! Quê letra, quê arranjo quê tudo!! DJ play Jorge palmer Mix salvador Bahia Brazil deixando um salve
i love you, djdiscocat -
you flippin’ rock
💥
Along with all the great remixes you do along with this one, it was refreshing to hear you share your limitations as well. People who request think it's just a matter of announcing a song and it should be doable. Keep doing what you can do and we'll be happy.
I have collected Roots reggae vynils for years and love ska and dub but i find myself in a transition to soul disco funk sounds and i must say it seems as endless as reggae is, love what you do DJ discocat, keep doing what you do please!
My favorits from the first hi-fi in my room....loud as hell❤

Thank you again for another ELO song DJDiscoCat! I completely understand your explanation, especially the instrumental part in Turn To Stone must be an absolute pain to produce but you managed so nice!! That's the icing-on-the-cake part for me. Looking forward to Horace, but please.... add Calling America also on your list 😁 👍
From the sound track of my life.
