![]() ![]() If it's true though, "Sad Affair" is likely a slower ballad, as such a name has been used as placeholder title on other ELO slower tunes in their early stages. Such a duration would pad out Side B to where it is roughly the same as the others but no correction on the claimed issue makes you wonder if it was an elaborate hoax or there's other reasons that the song did not go up. However, recently a YouTube channel called ELO Rare Tracks uploaded a video called Sad Affair clocking at 4:21(I think so?) but containing no audio - claimed to be due to an audio codec issue. That entry has since been removed and one can only wonder why. I realize that you've been seeing other guys.Īssuming those lyrics are accurate, it makes total sense for these to follow "Julie Don't Live Here" making this track a fair contender to be track B3. The lyrics that were remembered are taken directly from that particular entry: It should be mentioned that there was once an entry on the Jeff Lynne Song Database about a Time outtake titled "Sad Affair" with even some lyrics recalled supposedly by an engineer from those sessions. Now together, as collective ELO fans, we can only wonder about the potential missing pieces of this album - interludes, potential alternate takes and of course the two unknown tracks. Upon closer inspection and following this configuration as currently available, the story flows well and feels a little less ambiguous than the single album. The current understanding of the track list is as follows: Very little information is out there on the 2LP but thankfully acetates of this configuration have survived and have been preserved. Time was supposed a double album that was to feature 18 tracks (similar to Secret Messages) but was nevertheless cutdown for reasons currently unknown. Of course now, it has been revealed that there is a reason for that. Even the bonus tracks have substance that help further along the story. Time proves to be competent ELO but not great ELO.ĮĮ is such a gem, it captivates you from start to finish and, to me, does not have a song that drags on and slows the album down at all. “The Way Life’s Meant to Be” echoes very early ELO hits like “Can’t Get It Out of My Head,” and the “Prologue” and “Epilogue” segments try and bring about a unifying concept that doesn’t quite hold up upon listening all the way through. ![]() Sure, all the electronic whirrs and bleeps are present and accounted for, and Time did spawn hit singles in “Hold on Tight” and “Twilight,” but on the average, ELO had begun to get too stuck on the same structure and content of their releases. Time takes its cues more from such bands as the Alan Parsons Project and Wings than from Jeff Lynne’s fascination with Pepper-era Beatles. It is a concept album which tells a story of a man from the 1980s finding himself in the year 2095 and trying to come to terms with being unable to return and adjusting to his new surroundings. ![]() Time is a studio album by Electric Light Orchestra (credited only as ELO on the album’s packaging) released in 1981 through Jet Records.
