I originally bought Time on the day it was released. The first thing I noticed was that nowhere on the entire album packaging is the full name of the band. Everything including the spine is abbreviated to ELO.

Is it the only album that does that?
I could stare at it for ages and that would never strike me. Your brain is plainly wired up in a curious and inquisitive way, I like it!

The cd has their full name on the sides of the jewel case bottom insert. Drives me nuts that the title TIME is the same (or very close to) font Time Magazine used then. Like an after thought. Best it was left off. My rant for the day. unomusette, set me up.

By that time, they were commonly known as ELO. Maybe the record company thought "orchestra" sounded too old fashioned?

Yeah, BSJ is right, I've just checked in the CD. Mine also says "Electric Light Orchestra collection" on that narrow strip at the front (left) wich is not part of the cover (and doesn't open when you open the cover), where they usually put some label.

I've been staring at the cover too but then I've done this on a daily basis for the last 34 years......

Today I received in the mail the Half-Speed Mastered extended range recording of Time on vinyl. It sounds incredibly sonic, as if it didn't already. Hopefully tomorrow the book arrives.
