My Take
Bev Bevan is one of those musicians I respect precisely because he never chased the spotlight. As the drummer behind the Move and Electric Light Orchestra, he was the engine under all that lush orchestral rock, and the fact that he could also slot into Black Sabbath's Born Again tour tells you how trusted a pro he was. Founding ELO Part II showed me he wasn't content to coast on past glory. Birmingham produced a sturdy, dependable craftsman here, and I find that quiet reliability more admirable than any flashy frontman swagger.
