''On the Third Day'' was released in 1973 (see [[1973 in music]]) and failed to enter the UK charts at the time, although it did reach the US charts. Side two of the album was recorded during or shortly after the sessions for ELO's [[Vinyl record|LP]] ''[[ELO 2]]'', but unlike its predecessor it contains shorter tracks. By contrast, the four songs on side one of the album were linked into a continuous suite. Violinist [[Mik Kaminski]] made his debut on side one of this album replacing [[Wilfred Gibson|Wilf Gibson]], although Gibson plays on side two (plus the bonus tracks). Also, cellist [[Colin Walker]] left the line up around the same time, leaving [[Mike Edwards (musician)|Mike Edwards]] as lone cellist.

'''''On the Third Day''''' is the third [[studio album]] by [[Electric Light Orchestra]] (ELO), and the first to be recorded without input from [[Roy Wood]]. It was released in the United States in November 1973 by [[United Artists Records]], and in the United Kingdom on 14 December 1973 by [[Warner Bros. Records]]. From this album on, the word ''The'' was dropped from the band's name (other than [[The Night the Light Went On in Long Beach]] which was one of their live album). The album was reissued on 12 September 2006.


==Release==
Of all other ELO albums, except for ''ELO 2'', this might be considered closest in style to [[progressive rock]], with some elaborate band arrangements and complicated musical segués between tracks. The [[Mini Moog]] synthesizer can be heard prominently on several tracks, particularly as lead instrument on the instrumental "Daybreaker". It was to be the last ELO album where Jeff Lynne attempted to re-create an orchestral sound in the studio by multi-tracking the cellos and solo violin of the band members - for the next album, a real orchestra was hired. [[Marc Bolan]] played guitar on "Ma-Ma-Ma Belle" and "Dreaming of 4000", both originally uncredited, as well as on "Everyone's Born To Die", which was not released at the time but appears as a bonus track on the 2006 remaster.


''On the Third Day'' was released in 1973 and failed to enter the UK charts at the time, although it did reach the US charts at number 52.<ref name="billboard"/> Side two of the album was recorded during or shortly after the sessions for ELO's second album ''[[ELO 2]]''. ''On The Third Day'' contains shorter tracks than its predecessor, but the four songs on side one of the album were linked into a continuous suite. Violinist [[Mik Kaminski]] made his debut on side one of this album, replacing [[Wilfred Gibson]], although Gibson plays on side two (plus the bonus tracks). Also, cellist [[Colin Walker (cellist)|Colin Walker]] left the line up around the same time, leaving [[Mike Edwards (musician)|Mike Edwards]] as lone cellist.
In September 2006 the album was remastered and released again with bonus tracks, featuring the [[Hipgnosis]] album art from the original UK release. The bonus tracks "Auntie" (working title of "Ma-Ma-Ma Belle"), "Mambo" (working title of "Dreaming of 4000") and "Everyone's Born to Die" were recorded during the ''ELO 2'' sessions.

"[[Showdown (Electric Light Orchestra song)|Showdown]]" was originally intended to be released only as a single, and, because it was on a different label ([[Harvest Records|Harvest]]) than the UK album, "[[Showdown (Electric Light Orchestra song)|Showdown]]" did not appear on the [[Warner Records|Warner Bros. Records]] issue.{{citation needed|date=August 2016}} It was, however, included on the U.S. version of the album, because the band remained on [[United Artists Records]] in the U.S. Some copies of ''On the Third Day'' from this period had "Showdown" as the last track on side one. Although he didn't record on the album, [[Hugh McDowell]] did appear on this front cover of the U.S. album seen at right, which was an unusual photograph taken by photographer [[Richard Avedon]] that had ELO displaying their navels.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-07-28|title=ACHOF Interview with designer and illustrator John Kehe|url=https://albumcoverhalloffame.wordpress.com/2020/07/28/achof-interview-with-designer-and-illustrator-john-kehe/|access-date=2020-08-09|website=Album Cover Hall of Fame.com|language=en}}</ref>
==Miscellaneous==
* "Ocean Breakup/King Of The Universe" contains a sequence of [[morse code]] signaling ELO.
* "Oh No Not Susan" managed to slip past the [[BBC]] censors. The lyrics contain the expletive word "fucking". Despite this, it received much airplay without anyone noticing.
* "Showdown" was originally intended to be released on single only and, since it was on a different label ([[Harvest Records]]) than the UK [[Vinyl record|LP]], did not appear on the original UK [[Vinyl record|LP]]. It was, however, included on the USA [[Vinyl record|LP]].
* "Bluebird Is Dead" features a guitar solo played backwards.
* Although he didn't actually record with them, [[Hugh McDowell]] did appear on this front cover of the US LP seen at right, which was an unusual photograph taken by famed photographer [[Richard Avedon]] that had ELO exposing their bellybuttons.
* In [[2006]], New Zealand rap group Frontline sampled a piece of "Dreaming of 4000" for their latest release "Hold 'em".
* The working titles for "In the Hall of the Mountain King" was "In the Hole of the Mounted Parrot", "Daybreaker" was "Theme from Glass Table" and "Dreaming of 4000" was "I'm Only Dreaming" and "Mambo".

On the Third Day is the third studio album by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), and the first to be recorded without input from Roy Wood. It was released in the United States in November 1973 by United Artists Records, and in the United Kingdom on 14 December 1973 by Warner Bros. Records. From this album on, the word The was dropped from the band's name (other than The Night the Light Went On in Long Beach which was one of their live album). The album was reissued on 12 September 2006.

Release[edit]

On the Third Day was released in 1973 and failed to enter the UK charts at the time, although it did reach the US charts at number 52.[8] Side two of the album was recorded during or shortly after the sessions for ELO's second album ELO 2. On The Third Day contains shorter tracks than its predecessor, but the four songs on side one of the album were linked into a continuous suite. Violinist Mik Kaminski made his debut on side one of this album, replacing Wilfred Gibson, although Gibson plays on side two (plus the bonus tracks). Also, cellist Colin Walker left the line up around the same time, leaving Mike Edwards as lone cellist.

"Showdown" was originally intended to be released only as a single, and, because it was on a different label (Harvest) than the UK album, "Showdown" did not appear on the Warner Bros. Records issue.[citation needed] It was, however, included on the U.S. version of the album, because the band remained on United Artists Records in the U.S. Some copies of On the Third Day from this period had "Showdown" as the last track on side one. Although he didn't record on the album, Hugh McDowell did appear on this front cover of the U.S. album seen at right, which was an unusual photograph taken by photographer Richard Avedon that had ELO displaying their navels.[9]
