Moment of Truth is the second and final album by ELO Part II, released on October 1, 1994. The cover illustration by Graham Reynolds depicts an incandescent light bulb shattering. The light bulb image continues a visual theme that began with the light bulb depicted on the cover of Electric Light Orchestra's debut album. Moment of Truth and the single "One More Tomorrow" would determine if ELO Part II would continue re-establishing themselves in America.[4] "The Fox" was originally from the 1985 Kelly Groucutt EP, We Love Animals.[5][6]
