It was released in 1990 with liner notes by music critic and editor Ira Robbins of Trouser Press. A different two-CD compilation with identical artwork was issued simultaneously under the title The Very Best of The Electric Light Orchestra. Overview: Afterglow The box set mixes the usual hit singles with lesser known album tracks and non-album B-sides, and is most notable for including most of the Secret Messages (1983) tracks that were not released when the intended album was reduced from a double to a single LP as well as B-sides from Balance of Power (1986) singles. The discs of the box set were labelled with letters "E", "L" and "O", each covering a different compilation set of albums: - Disc "E" – The Electric Light Orchestra (1971; tracks 1-2), ELO 2 (1973; tracks 3-6), On the Third Day (1973; tracks 7-9) and Eldorado (1974; tracks 10-11) (with the exception of "One Summer Dream" from Face the Music (1975))
- Disc "L" – Face the Music (tracks 1, 3, 5-6), A New World Record (1976; tracks 2, 4, 7-10), Out of the Blue (1977; tracks 11-15) and Discovery (1979; tracks 16-17)
- Disc "O" – Time (1981; tracks 1-3, 6 & 9), Secret Messages (1983; tracks 10 & 18) and Balance of Power (1986; tracks 13 & 16) (with the exception of "Shine a Little Love" from Discovery)
