Strange Magic: The Best of Electric Light Orchestra

Strange Magic: The Best of Electric Light Orchestra is a compilation album by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), released in 1995 only in the US.

The compilation favours album versions rather than single versions; tracks such as "Rock 'n' Roll Is King", "Shine a Little Love" and "Boy Blue" are longer. The compilation is sequenced chronologically and is drawn from US singles, but missing 3 from Xanadu, with exception of the European hit "Rockaria!" on disc one.

Track listing
All tracks written by Jeff Lynne, except disc 1, track 2, written by Chuck Berry (*2).
