The Electric Light Orchestra (also known as No Answer) is the debut studio album by... well... the Electric Light Orchestra. It was released in 1971 through Harvest Records in most of the world and United Artists Records in North America. It's also the only album to fully feature Roy Wood — by the time the album was released, he'd parted ways with ELO and went on to have a career fronting Glam Rock band Wizzard.The reason as to why the album was called No Answer in the states was because of a spectacular communicative faux pas on the part of United Artists Records (the label who were releasing the album over there); an executive tried calling an ELO contact to retrieve the name of the album, but they couldn't reach them, so they wrote down "no answer" as a holding note, which was then mistakenly believed to have been the name given — the rest was history.Followed by ELO 2.

Early-Installment Weirdness: This album is where the "light orchestra" part of the name was at its most bare; there's hardly any electronic instruments on this album, plus virtually every track consists of pianos, violins, lots of violins, cellos, horns, even more violins, and the odd guitar.

Non-Appearing Title: Apart from the instrumental "First Movement", there are two others - "The Battle of Marston Moor" and "Manhattan Rumble".

Limited Lyrics Song: "The Battle of Marston Moor" only has the opening dialogue. "Manhattan Rumble" also qualifies as this, as if you listen very closely just before the 3 minute mark, you can just about hear a high pitched voice singing this:

You Are Number 6: That would be "10538 Overture", a song about an escaped prisoner which only refers to him by his number.
