Shall I put more earlier editions on here? Its great to have the early editions in your collection,I only have the glossy editions. There was a lot of hard work went into this magazine they turned it into a really slick mag for its day. Used to look forward to receiving it. Appreciate you & Horace putting these on.

I love reading all the gossip on Jeff, who he is hanging with and where and him moving to the US and that anticipation about record releases. I would have looked forward to receiving FTM, too.

Pre interweb, this magazine was my only ELO lifeline. The fan club had shut down and mentions of ELO in the press were sporadic. The music papers didn't really like them as they weren't 'hip' so to find out ANYTHING about them centrered around any album releases which apart from Balance Of Power was few and far between...

A while back on here,a thread talked about the 'spacemen' on the centrefold of Out Of The Blue and who they could possibly be. This 2nd edition of FTM answers that! (personally I still can't make out who is who...)

(personally I still can't make out who is who...) No big surprises in the polls back then, MBS number 1 single and OOTB top spot in the albums poll. Only found out today that Del Shannon and Jeff born on the same date.

Some cracking pictures in this edition ( Bev & Jeff) I always enjoyed reading the fan letters but was guilty of never sending a letter, wish I had now. Just going to check if my All over the world is a misprint copy!
