It would seem that the official discography is now:
Face the Music A New World Record Out of the Blue Discovery Xanadu Zoom AITU FOON Wembley or Bust
Or maybe it is even smaller than this.

Frankly, I don't see what all the fuzz is about. It just proves that Mr Lynne is a proper artist, as opposed to some other musicians and bands who just want to cash in on the occasion. Jeff has always been like "I hate this album and that album". Maybe, he doesn't like "Time" these days because of all the reverb applied to it, or because of the lyrics. Maybe, it's because his circle of friends doesn't like it, or George Harrison might have hated it ... we don't know. Of course, he should be proud of it, it's my favourite ELO record and the best pop/rock album ever recorded, if you ask me. While I would love to see a special 2-CD-edition of "Time", I can perfectly understand Jeff's attitude. If I were an artist I wouldn't want to release bonus tracks, either, that I find slightly embarrassing.

You mean, like, "funny ha ha, JLELO have a wicked sense of humour"?
Or "OMFG JLELO are so hopeless, you may as well laugh"?
(I know which one I am going with.)

The first of those for me, not least because I've seen not much evidence of any sense of fun from them previously. And while some might see that tweet as a monumental snub that has completely ruined their lives, I'd like to think of it as gently poking fun at some elements of the fanbase which, dare I say it, get a bit up themselves sometimes..?

I (and many others) are only stating an opinion, nothing wrong with that is there?

Has anyone seen the 40th anniversary treatment the Stones Tattoo You album received? It looks incredible…. I guess it comes down to if the record company thinks it will make money. Time is my fave ELO album but I have to admit it wasn’t a smash in (North) America so the general public knowledge of the album just isn’t there. There is even division among ELO fans on the album re: hard synths taking the place of the Orchestra strings. Would a lot of us on this site pay top dollar for a potential expanded/double album version of Time - of course! Would anyone outside our group share our interest? - doubtful…
