A solid comp for sure. But why include 5 songs from their previous comp, OLE ELO, released just 3 years prior? - While also ignoring the singles from their most recent album, Discovery? This is a lost opportunity for a much better tracklist.
I've read that the original pressings had poor sound quality, but mine sounds excellent. Not sure what the fuss is about. -

side A JET LX 525 A-3 etched, STRAWBERRY stamped, U.K. etched
