Since Time's extra tracks are b-sides I'm not counting them as a bonus, however great they may be.
Eldorado's Instrumental Medley is almost a vote winner but the album's selection of bonuses is otherwise very poor.
ANWR had 'Surrender' - one of my favourite-ever ELO tracks - however there are too many 'Telephone Line' versions than we need.
I have to vote for Face the Music for two overwhelming reasons - the 'Waterfall' instrumental (just beautiful) and the 'Evil Woman Stripped Down Mix' with it's extra verse - a better version of the song, in my opinion, than the main one.

I think the best ELO bonus track ever is "Everyone's born to die" (a 10***/10 if you asked me), so that would be a good reason to vote for "On the 3rd day".
"Julie don't live here" is a great song and "The bouncer" is amazing, so adding these two, the better would be "Time". However, I don't want OTTD finishing with no votes when having such a hidden gem in EBTD, so I'll vote for it.

I thought I posted my answer, at this point FTM has 3 votes. One is mine.
This was hard because I love the instrumental Tightrope on NWR, but Telephone Line kill it.
More of a mix on FTM and like Queenofthehours, I love Waterfall.

Y'know, Beatles Forever's inclusion on Secret Messages would've nullified this poll completely, It's awesomeness is infinite!

Nooo... I couldn't disagree with you more, Unicorn! To me that song sounds incredibly flat and dumb, zero joke to it.
Jrmugz is also a big fan of "Beatles forever".

You know, I read somewhere that once Jeff became friends with George Harrison, he began to be quite ashamed of the song and tried to hide it. Unfortunately for him, that fan that had gone to the "avant premiere" of the song and recorded it through a device in his pocket had already extended copies of it, so to censor it completely became impossible.
I'm willing to bet that if they ever make the "Secret Messages" deluxe edition (the double album as it was intended to be), that song won't appear on it.

Unfortunately, that doesn't make "Beatles forever" sound better to me (although it's always nice to hear Jeff express his admiration towards the Fab Four).

I'll have to go with the re release of Out of the Blue for the simple reason that it contained "Latitude 88 North". It was exciting to be an ELO fan in 2006/07 due in large part to that track and "Surrender".

Tears In Your Life should've made a return on the Secret Messages reissue, It should've taken the place No Way Out.
