Getting To The Point is a song by the rock music group Electric Light Orchestra from their 1986 album Balance of Power.

Released in the UK as the last single from the album in August 1986. It would be the last original release from the band for some fifteen years.

Due to a strike on Epic's distribution department at the time of its release,the single did not made much impression to the single charts. Its highest position was reported at # 95 in the UK.

There was no release in the rest of Europe. A small number of copies where sold by a german reseller called DISC CENTER.

The B Side of this Single is the 1986 "Balance of Power" album-track " Secret Lives".It was meant to be an separate single outtake as labelled on the "Balance of Power" album cover (dutch pressings with JET or EPIC Label Catno. 26467 ).

There also was released an UK 12 inch EPIC 3 Track version with the "ELO MEGAMIX " on the B Side. Sound quality of itself remained a bit poor.
