ESSENTIAL ELO - VERSION 2.1

While on my search for the new George Harrison deluxe box for Living In The Material World (a search that is still on-going by the way), I noticed this: a new set of 'The Essential Electric Light Orchestra' CDs have made their way to the shelves in the USA, now with back inlay and disc artwork more uniform to the rest of the Essential a series in the USA.  Too bad they didn't fix the huge flaw in opening track, too.
