After delivering two new studio albums and a biographical documentary in 2012, Electric Light Orchestra frontman Jeff Lynne is set to put out a series of archival releases this year in conjunction with his old band's 40th anniversary.  On April 23, a previously unreleased concert album titled Electric Light Orchestra Live will hit stores as will remastered versions of ELO's 2001 studio effort Zoom and Lynne's 1990 solo debut Armchair Theatre .

Electric Light Orchestra Live boasts performances from a 2001 PBS special that was released on DVD that same year.  The CD includes audio of four songs not featured on the video -- "Confusion," "Secret Messages," "Sweet Talkin' Woman" and "Twilight."  In addition, the album contains two bonus studio recordings -- "Cold Feet," which was recorded in 1992, and a 2010 track titled "Out of Luck."

Zoom , Electric Light Orchestra's last studio album to date, has not been available for more than a decade.  The collection features contributions from George Harrison , Ringo Starr and longtime ELO member Richard Tandy .  The reissue features two bonus tunes -- a 2004 track called "One Day" and a 2001 live rendition of "Turn to Stone" from the band's PBS special.

Armchair Theatre , meanwhile, finds Lynne working with a variety of guest artists, including Harrison, Tandy and Tom Petty .  The reissue will boast a pair of extra tracks -- "Borderline" and "Forecast" -- both recorded during the album's 1989 sessions.

All of the upcoming releases will feature revamped packaging, with  Electric Light Orchestra Live being available in a special "ecobook" edition.
