 After several decades owning and listening to this album, I have just this minute realised that the person fleeing from the horses inside the gatefold is the same guy who's on the front cover! All this time, I thought it was a woman running! He has some child-bearing hips there!

 RC, don't give up your day job just yet, ay? You're not quite ready to be a stand-up comic(I fear they'll tell you to "sit down"!)

 RC, what kind of "discovery" did you make while listening in the dark? And would your response have been "ELO, ELO, ELO, what 'ave we 'ere?"

 this album brings back a lot of memories for me I used to listen on my Brothers state of the art Sharp GF model cassette player to set the mood I used to listen to it in the dark

 Well, I never had this on cassette(unless I dubbed it onto tape myself) but initially I had it on LP, then CD, and have since acquired a couple more LP copies, one of which only had the inner sleeve. Should state for the "record" that mine was an Australian LP issue - no merchandising propaganda flyer!

 I had this on a cassette way back when it was released one of my favorites

 added the other side of the merch sheet with fan club offer.
Also i have a sleeve with limited edition poster stuck on. Was the poster just limited to the first pressing then?

 I've had a good look at the record against the scans that have been uploaded and they are the same, down to the made in England at the bottom of the record. As previously stated, my copy has a Gatefold Sleeve, an Inner Sleeve, a Poster, and the Merchandise Insert.
