Not only was Jeff Lynne's brand of immaculately produced Beatlesque pop out of critical fashion in those new-wave days, there was a new brand of video-friendly bubblegum on the rise that made such classic radio hits as "Sweet Talkin' Woman" sound passe. The band's heavily hyped participation in the box-office flop XANADU, including the title duet with star Olivia Newton-John, hadn't helped. Typically, though, 1981's TIME finds Lynne and company ignoring trends and simply doing what they do best: pristine, endlessly-multitracked, ultra-melodic pop. There's a theme of sorts running through the record, a meditation on sci-fi apocalypse that runs through songs like "Yours Truly, 2095" and "From the End of the World." The concept is easy enough to ignore, as the real focus, as always, is on Lynne's immense melodic and production skills. TIME is an underrated gem.
The record has extremely minimal light/faint surface marks/paper scuffs(all barely noticeable hairline/superficial marks!). Both labels are clean and have the very faintest of spindle marks. The record looks barely played and grades excellent plus condition.
The inner lyric sleeve has no rips or tears. No creasing. No splits and grades excellent plus condition.
The 2 page press release has no rips or tears and grades mint condition.
The laminate ELO folder that the press release is in has no rips or tears. Some minor discolouration along the top edge and grades excellent condition.
The sleeve has some minor edge wear. Some minor corner wear. Extremely minimal light ring wear/rubbing marks. There is a very small light surface tear near the bottom edge on the back(see picture). No splits and grades excellent condition.
If you don't want to pay the p+p, you can collect the LP from me in person at one of the many record fairs i attend. Take a look at "Record Fairs worth visiting in Leeds" on FACEBOOK.
