Interesting artwork better than the sleeve we actually had.

Interesting, completely new to my eyes. It even has the classic 'ELO' image too so is this legit?

The artwork is really good. The track list is only one track different to what was released but I guess these are the earlier versions released as bonus tracks on the CD re-issue. Send It is substantially longer so maybe there was an outro?

Also, the image above is remarkably similar to Alone in the Universe - except indoors. Would make a good side-by-side comparison.

Does this mean that 'Is It Alright' was probably the last ELO song recorded?

Holy crap. This is an incredible find! And this album artwork is wonderful. Really makes me wish all the more that Jeff Lynne would release more “from the vaults” stuff, but that doesn’t seem to be where his interests lie these days.

I suspect one of our esteemed members may be along in a while to confirm that this cover was never anything to do with BoP.

To me it doesn't seem legit, if it is then the famous ELO logo must have been dropped during the change over to the red album cover that we now know?

Yea, that album art is suspect.

I wouldn't call this an unreleased ELO album on par with the Secret Messages, now Time 2 LP's by any means!
Nice piece of history, an oddity, but not worth $2700 for what amounts to 5/8/85 possibly being near its original release date, suspect alternative artwork, then exact same tracklist except "Destination Unknown" replaces "Is It Alright", also some very minor song time differences...
Side A
1. Heaven Only Knows (2 seconds more) 2. So Serious (3 seconds more) 3. Getting to the Point (1 second more) 4. Secret Lives (2 seconds more) 5. Destination Unknown 4:10 (none)
Side B
1. Sorrow About to Fall (4 seconds more) 2. Without Someone (3 seconds more) 3. Calling America (3 seconds more) 4. Endless Lies (3 seconds more) 5. Send It (35 seconds more)*
*After 14 seconds of silence an unusual whirring sound and seagull cawing are heard for 12 seconds. After the whirring sound there are 9 seconds of silence, followed by Jeff Lynne saying "ELO, I'm still going y'know," and chimes ringing.

So basically someone took the exact same bit from the end of Armchair Theatre, and tacked it on here.

The picture of the boy watching the tv is by the artist Mel Furukawa with the ELO and title just added to the top

I've messaged the seller on eBay to ask about the artwork.
No Answer
Seems appropriate!
