I'd buy this album for the last three tracks alone. I can't wait!

2102 for Sweden? :-)

I'm looking forward to hearing the Long Wave solo covers the most.

& (Getting to the) 'Point,Of No Return'

Will enjoy it as I always have.

Point of No Return could be another cover. Perhaps by The Stylistics.

Actually, no. http://www.elodiscovery.com/Jeff-Lynne-Electric-Light-Orchestra-New-Album.html

Scroll down to the bottom. Point of No Return is a song Jeff made in the mid-2000s.

Thank goodness. At least one new song would be nice. Interesting that the ship on the cover appears to be derelict - no other ships, no lights. I'm sure there is meaning there.

I will buy but honestly after 11 years was hoping for new songs. "WOrds of Love" I think is the most recent released example of a cover by Jeff and for me this sounded like something he could run off in his sleep. Jeff is often quoted as saying it's the creative process he enjoys most in making music; sure you can be creative with a cover but not as much as starting from scratch with your own songs. Still, I agree we shouldn't count our chickens.
