Issued in the formats:​​

• Solid Centre 

• Solid Centre  -  later large “indented” pressing post 1979

​

There are also a number of different solid centre pressings/mouldings, as shown below the yellow line.

​

The larger 'indented' central area mouldings were first used in or around 1979 by CBS pressing plants.

​

Jet Records changed record distributor on May, 6th 1978 from United Artists to CBS. 

 

This prompted  3 of ELO's singles to be re-pressed and re-issued with new Jet Cat. Numbers.

​

Copies of  Telephone Line S JET 101 were mislabelled with the order of the B side tracks reversed on the label.

 

King of the Universe then Poorboy is incorrect, it should be labelled :

1. Poorboy
