Released in 1983, 'Secret Messages' is Electric Light Orchestra's tenth studio album. Originally conceived as a double album, it was condensed to a single LP due to production costs. The album features hidden messages and backmasking, a playful response to allegations of subliminal content in their music. Notably, it includes the return of violinist Mik Kaminski and marks the final appearance of bassist Kelly Groucutt. Fun fact: The album's cover contains an anagram of the band members' names as mock retailer and manufacturer names.
