No Rewind
Encyclopedia
No Rewind is an album released by The Orchestra
in 2001 and reissued in 2005 and again in 2006. Produced by Eric Troyer
, Parthenon Huxley
and Jim Jacobsen, No Rewind was recorded without a single penny from any record label. 10 tracks and more were recorded in studios in Los Angeles
and New York
over a two-and-a-half year period.
Three versions were released with three different cover designs. The first pressing cover art was simply silver/grey with the band logo in black. The second, designed by band guitarist Parthenon Huxley showed a reel-to-reel deck carved in stone. The third was designed by George Reed, the long-time art/film director for ELO Part II and the Orchestra. This edition pictures a man standing at a computer console as it spills out piles of data tape with the words NO REWIND spelled out in L.E.D. letters on an indicator screen - throughout the image there are several hidden references to the band's past.
