I have just acquired the mentioned item via ebay. I haven't yet researched the date but the item is in near mint condition. It contains a spaceship and poster an obi strip. As many of us know with Japanese releases,they contain an extra sheet in Japanese for lyrics etc. But it also contains a hand written note from Bev Bevan thanking the Japanese for buying the album,described the recording and a brief description of every track. I have never heard of this before , its definitely a bonus item,does anyone else know about this?

All the ones for sale on discogs don't mention the Bev Bevan notes, is this printed on another part of the sleeve?

It's a separate sheet. My copy is faint. One side in Japanese and the other with Bev's writing.

I would have loved to get Bev's notes! Never heard of that addition until now.
One more reason why the Japanese get a "special extra" with most ELO releases.

It's been the same with Muse, and I'd guess with other bands too. For some reason the lucky Japanese always get extra tracks and goodies. It must be a particularly profitable market there.

If I ever visit Japan, I'd be in the record stores all the time!

I think it's to stop them buying cheaper imports. Trouble is, it's us that have trouble seeking the extra tracks etc,unless you know someone who can download them .
