I can't find my source now for this comment, but it was mentioned by the band during 1999 that they hoping to release a new album during 2000 and that they already had a few songs for this.
Months later Bev leaves and the band rename themselves as The Orchestra and later issue the No Rewind album.
My questions are 1) Apart from 'Over London Skies' which they played during the 1999 tour, do we know what other songs (if any) which made the album were written in the ELO Pt2 days 2) Apart from Bev's writing credit on the 'Over London Skies' do we know of any of the other songs on the Album have any little bits of Bev's involvement hidden

No Rewind is a little gem.
It's great to have their terrific version of Twist And Shout to play again and again. I remember how stunning it sounded when I first heard it live. Mik and his blue violin given the starring role.

Totally agree. It proves what great musicians/songwriters these guys are. It was also Kelly's last appearance on a CD (unless there are any undiscovered gems hidden away). I ordered my copy from Parthenon Huxley's website and received the CD signed by him with a free plectrum also signed by P Hux. I know Orchestra still do ELO tribute concerts but I wish they could get some studio time and produce a new CD of original songs.

I agree raybram.
Thinking back through the Part II / Orchestra catalogue, one absolute gem is Twist Of The Knife. Kelly at his finest, in my opinion. And, for the band too...
