    Why is it that several titles on the Jet label -- this one included -- seem to be "zoomed in" with the building top larger and the spotlights crossing over the hole, while most others are smaller with the spotlights crossing in the center?

      I've got my oldest brother's original pressing. I have yet hear ANY ELO album that doesn't sound AMAZING on vinyl. This one's no exception to that rule.

        Found a fairly abused copy for $3. Decided to give it shot.
        The mastering is so good the music tampers out any crackles and pops.

          So so so good! I’ve loved this album since the day it released.

            This is the 1/2 speed mastered pressing by Stan Ricker. Excellent sound quality if you find a quiet copy.
