Mike Edwards would have enjoyed Self-Defence Against Fresh Fruit.
As long as none of them asked the Duke of Gloucester if he'd ever won Upper Class Twit Of The Year.

Jeff enjoyed reminding people that he was the reigning ELO noughts and crosses champion.

The band were once invited to a raunchy "adult fancy dress" party. Jeff went as scandalous '60s model Christine Keeler. Sadly, no one realised who he was supposed to be.

On tour, the band would occasionally spend a fun day out at an amusement park. They all had different favourite rides. Beatles fan Jeff liked the Helter Skelter. Mike de Albuquerque felt at home on a bouncy castle. Shy Mik would hide under the cover of the Caterpillar. Hughie, "Mr Night", relished the Ghost Train. While flirtatious Mel could often be found in the Tunnel Of Love... But they all enjoyed Big Wheels.

Rumour had it that Jeff was planning to release a special ELO Valentine's album this month.
The new release would feature reworked versions of a number of songs:
Lovin' Thing Don't Turn Me Down Oh Tie The Knot Susan Beguiled West Hero In For The Kiss Lover Boy (The Pork Chop) Courting - A Trap? Ticket To The Honeymoon The Battle Of Marston Amour
Sadly, Jeff and his people couldn't agree on an album title. On The Third Date, or ELOPE 2?
Happy Valentine's Day, all. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Violinski's first album was due to be released on a special offshoot of Jet Records, named Jetski. This plan was scrapped after the press launch, when both Mik and Michael de Albuquerque demonstrated their version of "Waterfall".
