LONG ENDURANCE, PORKY CURTAINS ctd...

 

A very Happy 78th Birthday, Jeff Lynne!

Thanks to all of you who have been slogging along with the blog for all this time.  Onward we go!  Here's to yet another year of begging record companies to release something... really anything in relation to Jeff Lynne. [For God's sake, why, in 2025, there's no basic vinyl box set of ELOs albums yet? Anyway, I digress.]

Happy New Year, everyone!

SONY/EPIC/LEGACY, I'M JUST SAYING... ctd

 No, seriously... These are 3500x3500-sized scans of the inner sleeves in case you're still looking.  Just right-click and save it - and print these suckers up on some semi-glossy paper in the next month and add them to this 50th Anniversary edition.  How much can it add to the cost?  I mean, c'mon.
