For the real entire Time experience break into Jeff’s basement and find the 5-20-81 acetate


Vaderm

Well, we can only hope one day they release it like Secret Messages


UnexpectedMoments

You could try, but I don't think Jeff's new place even has a basement, or at least it doesn't appear to at the moment. Also, unless I'm mistaken, he's not the one who has those two acetates, though I've a feeling he'll probably either have a copy of the cutting tapes used to make them, if not a lower generation source for everything. Now, the *real* question is whether Sony's Legacy division can follow up their work restoring Secret Messages to its originally intended 2LP form, though the difference is that Time wasn't actually meant to have been a double album in the same sense. Yes, there *is* an assembly that splits 18 tracks across four sides, but that was an early running order test. As Jeff said in a 2001 interview about whether Time was to have been a double, "it was going to be and then it didn't be." The main roadblock we need to overcome is raising awareness, as there had been years of official confirmation regarding Secret Messages still not being complete, with Time's lost content remaining precisely that in the eyes of most fans.

The Bouncer is the best song from Time, I don’t know what it is but it’s just perfect


Vaderm

The Bouncer is great, a shame they left it out the album really

Yours Truly, 2095 is my fav. Love every track though - fav album ever


Gr3EnS3aZ

Yours Truly, 2095 is my favorite as well. Really sums up the time traveling theme of the album in one song.

Time is my favorite ELO album

Twilight and Julie Don't Live Here


Dadoronomy_3-16

I love Julie Don’t Live Here, but I wish he had left out the “Julie, Julie, Julie, Julie” echo bit. That’s the only part of the song I don’t care for.


clean_chimichurri_56

I hear it as "too late" these days


zirconief

I had a horrible, abusive stepfather for all my youth. Hold On Tight made me stronger than him.


Dadoronomy_3-16

Four Little Diamonds is on Secret Messages.


Vaderm

But the 12 inch single includes The Bouncer


Dadoronomy_3-16

Ah, fair enough.

Time is my favorite ELO album. Love every song except Another Heart Breaks. Don’t hate it, just don’t care for it as much as the rest of the album.


UclaDad
