I doubt there is anything authorized about it. If you ignore who did this, it is essentially a fan effort with someone making overdubs onto a released recording, hence the odd mix as others have said. If this was meant to have strings on it, it would have strings on it... and the other instruments would make space. Good effort, but I am not sure what the point is. JL has total control and command over the sound, regardless of what anyone wants it to sound like. I may also be alone in thinking FOON as one of the best ELO albums, for the sort of autumnal/late in life feel to the songs. I think he has got better about expressing his feelings in songs from Zoom onwards. Of course, the sound changed too, and that is not to everyone's taste, but I like it a lot. Unfortunately, it's the only ELO album I don't own. I've tried plenty of times via Spotify, but I find it entirely formulaic. Delighted loads of people like it though. Hanging on to see early set lists before I commit to the tour. Not prepared to pay premium rates for the same songs as the last 7 times. I totally agree on both points there.

Last night I was toying around with Audacity and was able to extract the strings on the title track made by Louis Clark Jr. His remix was a bit rough, but still quite enjoyable. My initial plan was to tweak the EQ and balance between the original and the added strings. Then I had the idea to see if the strings fit the BBC live version. Indeed, they were a perfect match! I thought you guys would appreciate the end result. So here goes.

I just found on YouTube that "DJ Mike G" has used a graphic EQ to improve the sound on "From Out of Nowhere", see
He has improved the EQ mix on all the tracks from the whole album and uploaded them, search his YouTube channel for them.
To me, the sound is much clearer and far less "woolly". But everybody has their own view of which sound mix they prefer.

Unfortunately, the studio version with strings now appears as "Private", so I can't access to the video on YT...How can I get the version? Thanks!
