'''''Discovery''''' è un album del gruppo [[rock]] [[Regno Unito|britannico]] [[Electric Light Orchestra]], pubblicato nel [[1979]].

==Il disco==

''Discovery'' è stato il primo album del gruppo ad arrivare in cima alla classifica britannica, entrandoci direttamente al primo posto e rimanendoci cinque settimane. Nell'[[Long playing|LP]] erano cinque le ''hit'' (''Shine a Little Love'', ''Don't Bring Me Down'', ''Last Train to London'', ''Confusion'' e ''The Diary of Horace Wimp''), di cui diverse erano fortemente influenzate dalla [[disco music]]; infatti [[Richard Tandy]] s'inventò il noto soprannome ''Disco Very''.<ref>Wild, David.

<!--

"Don't Bring Me Down" would become their only top three hit in the UK throughout their career, and also their highest-charting US single at #4. "The Diary of Horace Wimp" was also a hit single in the UK, although it was not patterned after the disco sound; instead it was closer in style to the band's earlier hit "[[Mr. Blue Sky]]." The album itself was the first ever to generate four top-ten singles from a single LP in the UK and was eventually certified 2x platinum by the [[RIAA]] in 1997.-->

''Discovery'' è noto per essere stato il primo album dell'ELO senza il trio d'[[Archi (musica)|archi]], fino ad allora fisso, composto da [[Mik Kaminski]], [[Hugh McDowell]] e [[Melvyn Gale]], anche se comparvero nei [[videoclip]] realizzati al posto della [[tournée]]. Poco dopo i membri del trio d'archi furono dichiarati non necessari ai requisiti del gruppo e quindi licenziati (poi Mik Kaminski ritornerà nel [[1981]]-[[1982|'82]] per una tournée e nel [[1983]] per l'album ''[[Secret Messages]]''.

<!--

''Discovery'' is notable in that it was the first ELO album not to feature their resident string trio of [[Mik Kaminski]], [[Hugh McDowell]] and [[Melvyn Gale]], although they did make an appearance on the [[Discovery (music video)|''Discovery'' music videos]] that were created as a substitute for a live concert tour. Shortly afterwards, the members of the string section were deemed surplus to the band's requirements and dismissed (although Mik Kaminski did return for the ''[[Time (Electric Light Orchestra album)|Time]]'' Tour in 1981-82, and as a performer on the 1983 album ''[[Secret Messages]]''.

''Discovery'' was remastered as part of the [[Sony/BMG|Epic/Legacy]] remaster series in [[2001]]; among the included bonus tracks was a cover of a [[Del Shannon]] classic, "Little Town Flirt."
