Background
After Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) was disbanded in 1986, Bev Bevan approached Jeff Lynne to record another album; Lynne declined.[5] So in 1989 Bev Bevan formed a new band with a new lineup under ELO; however; Lynne objected to the use of ELO's name. After a lawsuit, a compromise was reached: the new name of the band would be ELO Part II.[6] In addition to the new name Lynne would also receive a share of royalties from ELO Part II's sales.[5]
