Notes

Gatefold-sleeve. Each LP is housed in a glossy card lyric sleeve. Comes with foldout-poster with pics of the band members.

Issued with a die-cut punch-out paper "ELO Spaceship" model (the individual parts "punch-out" to form a space ship with ELO Logo and band name on it) and an ELO Souvenir / Fan Club special offer with Fan Club membership fees, options to order ELO poster and T-shirt via mail order.

Two pressing rings on both LP's (approx. 35mm and 70mm with outer ring being a "muffin top") an indication of an Allied or PRC pressing but there is no other indication on labels/runouts.
Smaller "UA"-logo at 12 o'clock and different typeface for song titles on labels, compared to Electric Light Orchestra - Out Of The Blue
