And, are there other ELO disc's out there? Not exactly picture discs, but I definitely have at least one single on a postcard you can play on a record player, from somewhere in Eastern Europe. I can't even remember which album they were off, I really must dig everything out and make a proper list. Anyone else have them? If I had to guess I'd say they were around the OOTB era. Aside from the Secret Messages 7" and Ticket To The Moon 12" picture discs, both issued in the UK, the only other picture disc released was a 10" promo copy of Xanadu. Only 31 were ever made and every so often one appears on Ebay and is sold for around US$5,000 - US$10,000. There are often a number of 12" picture discs for sale on Ebay of for example Roll Over Beethoven, Turn To Stone etc but these are all fakes.

Blimey, I wonder how many of those Xanadu discs might be fakes? If there's that sort of money to be made there must be a fair few. Especially if those other 12" discs are known fakes. Imagine how gutted you'd be to find you'd wasted all that money. I once paid £9.99 for a Harvest 12" that should have been 99p and that was bad enough

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Jeffs 'Video' single from Electric Dreams being issued as a picture disc.It's not that rare to find too....

Well, I have battled spiders, bashed my head on the TV aerial and put my foot through the ceiling, but I've found my records in the loft. Once I have got the TV picture back for Mrs Wimp I will post up a list of ones which may be of interest.

Woohoo! I'm off right now for a good look, taking a rolled up newspaper in case any spiders have hitched a ride *shudders*
Mrs Wimp sounds like a most sensible woman, the TV picture is a lot more important than most anything, how thoughtless of you to spoil it by bashing it with your head, tut.

The Xanadu 10" Picture disc comes to mind. I don't have one, but I think they made about 30

Did anyone see the newly made ELO 12" inch picture discs of old songs that were cropping up fairly regular on Ebay a few years ago, they were on sale for a few hundred pounds each, I haven't seen or heard of any of the records since?

Well lookie here Forumheads! See what arrived on me doorstep, unexpected, from our own Horacewimp . A program from the Wembley concert! Unbelievable! What a nice surprise. There are a few photos of Jeff in there that are very fine. The pin is from the Time tour he attended in Birmingham, when he was still a wee devil may care lad. I’ve been wanting this pin for quite some time. I still can’t believe it! H W also included records and other goodies from his ELO collection (after battling gigantic spiders to get at it). Secret Messages pic disc, is one. Other records he found shopping, helping build up my collection. Lots of loud OMG’s and blinking of eyes, because something was in them.
