It was released in the United States in November 1973 by United Artists Records, and in the United Kingdom on 14 December 1973 by Warner Bros. Records. From this album on, the word The was dropped from the band's name (other than The Night the Light Went On in Long Beach which was one of their live album). The album was reissued on 12 September 2006.ReleaseOn the Third Day was released in 1973 and failed to enter the UK charts at the time, although it did reach the US charts at number 52. Side two of the album was recorded during or shortly after the sessions for ELO's second album ELO 2. On The Third Day contains shorter tracks than its predecessor, but the four songs on side one of the album were linked into a continuous suite. Violinist Mik Kaminski made his debut on side one of this album, replacing Wilfred Gibson, although Gibson plays on side two (plus the bonus tracks). Also, cellist Colin Walker left the line up around the same time, leaving Mike Edwards as lone cellist."Showdown" was originally intended to be released only as a single, and, because it was on a different label (Harvest) than the UK album, "Showdown" did not appear on the Warner Bros. Records issue. It was, however, included on the U.S. version of the album, because the band remained on United Artists Records in the U.S. Some copies of On the Third Day from this period had "Showdown" as the last track on side one. Although he didn't record on the album, Hugh McDowell did appear on this front cover of the U.S. album seen at right, which was an unusual photograph taken by photographer Richard Avedon that had ELO displaying their navels.Track listingOriginal track listingAll tracks are written by Jeff Lynne, except where notedSide oneNo.TitleLength1."Ocean Breakup / King of the Universe"4:052."Bluebird Is Dead"4:253."Oh No Not Susan"2:524."New World Rising / Ocean Breakup (Reprise)"4:405."Showdown" (only on the original US release and subsequent reissues)4:15Side twoNo.TitleWriter(s)Length6."Daybreaker" 3:507."Ma-Ma-Ma Belle" 3:528."Dreaming of 4000" (listed as "I'm Only Dreaming" on the cassette tape version[10]) 5:009."In the Hall of the Mountain King"Edvard Grieg6:35Total length:39:34
