It was the band's last contemporary recording to be released on the Harvest label. ==Release== In the US the song was included on the album ''On the Third Day'' (1973), while in the UK the song was omitted from this album but later featured on the band's first compilation album, also called ''Showdown'', a year later. In 2006 the remastered issue of ''On the Third Day'' would feature the song on the album on both sides of the Atlantic for the first time. The song was a change of pace for ELO, with a funkier backbeat, including clavinet, beneath the band's trademark sweeping strings. The record was a favourite of John Lennon at the time, who dubbed the band ''"Son of Beatles"'' in a US radio interview. Jeff Lynne played the lead guitar part using Marc Bolan's Gibson Firebird guitar. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Showdown (Electric Light Orchestra song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
