Electric Light Orchestra Part Two is the debut album by ELO Part II, released in 1991. In June 1991, the single "Honest Men" charted at number 36 on the Dutch Single Top 100 chart.[1] The track "Kiss Me Red" is a cover of the theme to the short-lived TV series Dreams.

The album was reissued in 1991 as Part Two: Once Upon a Time,[2] and again in 2021 by Renaissance Records on CD and LP, with the CD release including bonus tracks.[3]

Background

After Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) was disbanded in 1986, Bev Bevan approached Jeff Lynne to record another album; Lynne declined.[4] So in 1989 Bev Bevan formed a new band with a new lineup named ELO; however; Lynne objected to the use of ELO's name. After a lawsuit, a compromise was reached: the new name of the band would be ELO Part II.[5] In addition to the new name Lynne would also receive a share of royalties from ELO Part II's sales.[4]
