I think it's very likely that the Shardender person meant that Kelly was banned from recording sessions from August 1982, then finally sacked in October 1983. In between, his solo album came out in the US, bombed, and his lawsuit continued. It's been stated that neither Kelly or Mik were a part of any recording after the initial 4-song session done back while the Time tour was still going on. But Dave Morgan was there; whether he did more than his backing vocal credit on the album indicates is an open question.

The one we have all been waiting for? it doesn't disappoint. To me this song is the pinnacle of all things ELO, a hidden gem for us fans but almost unheard of to the 'outside world'. Do I want this song to be universally known and mentioned in the same breath as Mr Blue Sky or Livin' Thing or Showdown? part of me says yes but on the whole, I'd like this 8 minute masterpiece to be kept for 'those who know.....'

No, but the song IS relatively unknown to the outside world. Ask anyone and I mean anyone about this song and 99/100 will blank you...

There are so many songs unknown in the outside world - we are here in the inside world :-) but you are right, sorry, that was just a know-it-all saying ... I wish that more really hidden gems will appear in the near future.

Don't apologise Heli, I was being a little facetious in saying what I did. I have lots of friends who hear me talk for hours about ELO and not one of them have heard of this song, so on that basis I assume that not a lot of folk know about this song...

At last we have the Whole Album...now I'wonder what other Surprises are awaiting for us on the Bonus Tracks! Also, what about other albums such as 'Time' with all its lost tracks? I'd love to hear their take on it...

Know what you mean I have mates who have every ELO studio album. I mention HMOF and nothing, they never heard of it

You can download all of the tracks in FLAC if you email The Bug Club. I got them. Their email is in their YouTube info. Listened on the stereo via a CD-RW to check it out yesterday!

In my view as a whole it is a really patchy album ... I could be persuaded one or two tracks either way (letter from spain would never be my choice) but the official released version back in the day had the best bits

At last we have the Whole Album...now I'wonder what other Surprises are awaiting for us on the Bonus Tracks! Also, what about other albums such as 'Time' with all its lost tracks? I'd love to hear their take on it... They have remastered "Time" A few months ago ... without bonus tracks unfortunately ... But ELO RARE TRACKS published a preview of "Sad Affair" that due to an error in the audio codec the video was just silence ... I hope ELO RARE TRACKS can solve their technical problems and finally "Sad Affair" sees the light...
