No, but going by what we know, only All Over the World: The Very Best of ELO was released on a vinyl 2 LP in 2016, while The Essential Electric Light Orchestra is a 2 CD and ELO Original Album Classics is a 5 CD, so these 3 comps were classified physical or "Standard" certifications, then those 8 singles were all classified "Digital".

In the timeline, they missed Flashback and Afterglow. They certainly are more important than the 2007 Wilburys collection. I would have included the Part 2 albums as well, but we all know that's not gonna happen

Did you notice? The deliberate VHS video quality in Jeff Lynne's ELO 50th Records Through the Decades. I do think Time's highlight is hinting at a hopefully 40th Anniversary 2 LP Legacy Edition!

I'm confused. What have the Wilbury's got to do with ELO's 50th.
