Agree. Hanging on a wall at Command Central.
But I'm not sure how to position it. Tilted to the left is how I have it.

I have to agree, and did you know that same illustration was also used for three other ELO releases around the same period? First of all, it served as the front cover for the Twilight single in Japan: After its appearance on the Ticket To The Moon/Here Is The News double a-side picture disc, Jet recycled this for The Way Life's Meant To Be (when they had no alternate sleeve ideas at hand due to that being a last minute item rushed out to cash in on the European leg of the Time Tour)... Remember how I mentioned a fourth use before? Well, you'll just have to trust me, as there isn't a copy of this variation circulating to my knowledge. Saying that, I've been able to find out it was originally intended to be the front of a previously undocumented and unreleased ELO album I'll hopefully be able to reveal more about very soon!

So, there is the Japan, German and Holland 7" release with this artwork. I miss any?

I have two 'TTTM' picture discs. One to use and one for "best".
I really got the second because the first was so scratched I had to use a penny on the record arm to listen to it. I later found out this is not a responsible thing to do.

We used the penny too. Many a record sadly pulverized.
