Right, there's not been nearly enough boasting round these parts, so it's time to post a pic of Bev Bevan's silver disc for A New World Record. I won this from the old fan club and it's been on my wall ever since. { It was really difficult to take a photo of it without reflections, this was the best I could do without having myself reflected in it. Also, here's my only other bit of ELO memorabilia, a poster I had off Ebay a while ago {

That's great Uno, how did you win it, was it names pulled out of a hat or did you have to answer questions or write an essay on how you love ELO etc? I see you are showing me up by having them in a frame You shouldn't listen to BSJ the picture was showing fine last night before I went to bed, it's not now, I'll see if I can fix it

I see you are showing me up by having them in a frame You shouldn't listen to BSJ the picture was showing fine last night before I went to bed, it's not now, I'll see if I can fix it I'm sure it was pure chance that I won it - you had to write to the fan club and tell them why ELO were so good, that's all. At the time I was about 15 or 16 and totally obsessed. I used to get up every morning at 5am, wrap myself in a blanket and lie in the dark listening to their albums in strict rotation. To achieve this I had to go to bed at about 9pm the night before - my parents thought I was completely bonkers. So when I wrote in I just put something like "I've been getting up at 5am every day to listen to them, they must be good" and it won. They never explained why to me. Actually I think the second prize was nicer, it was a gold disc from Australia for a different album, Eldorado I think, on a plushy red velvet background. Only downside was that it had no glass on the front. There was a third prize too but I've forgotten what it was. The three of us went up to London to meet Bev and have him give us the prizes, then for a feed at The Coconut Grove, then to see Xanadu which had just come out. There were some pics in the subsequent fan club newsletters - I looked AWFUL as usual Ta for sorting the photo - to be honest I take most of BSJ's utterings with a large pinch of salt, some people will do anything to get attention
