Where did this come from? Source please!

It's an eBay listing. Click on the picture.

Just sold for $330.

So it looks like the sampler has more tracks than the actual release, sounds like a Real First in CD history, how could this be true, perhaps the CD has these tracks and they are "hidden" still doesnt make any sense. Looking forward to the impending Jeff Lynne releases.

So does this mean that we'll be seeing full versions of the songs NOT featured on Long Wave, in one form or another?Like maybe iTunes exclusives?

Jerry said...

Well, we can only guess at this one. I don't think there's going to be an instance, though, where 9 bonus tracks are going to be made available for an 11 (12) track album, unless there's a second volume in the cards - which I doubt.

Looks like this was Long Wave before Long Wave was Long Wave.

The person who gets it is either very lucky or extremely stupid. $390 could go towards my next vacation.

Well I did dream that there was a double album. But one was Covers, and the other was new material. But a double of covers would be fantastic too!

I'd be VERY hesitant to purchase such a thing at all, let alone for over $300.....

I hope the purchaser wasn't ripped off.

Seems to be missing the lead single "At Last" and "Beyond the Sea".

All going well, these samplers are all wrapped up for Long Wave 2 in 2013.

A friend I know in Inverness, Florida who is a sdrummer in a Swing band sang NIGHT AND DAY in his gigs in his area.

I'll pass. I'm sure Jeff is feeling nostalgic for songs his Dad liked, but I want new songs with strings and choirs, nothing less...

Yep, can confirm at least 11 other tracks.
