Face the Music (distributed by CBS Records, approx. 1978)

~ Release by Electric Light Orchestra (see all versions of this release, 20 available)

Annotation

This release has labelcode LC 3455 and a CBS distribution¹ (since 1978) notice printed on labels, and a French price code A on back (in 1979, these general letter codes were replaced by company specific codes, i.e. CB 271 for a CBS/Sony Music release). Therefore record and cover were probably manufactured in 1978.

¹) Until 1978 United Artists were distributing Jet Records in most countries of the world. This ended when UA sold defective copies of 'Out of the Blue' at discounted prices in record shops in the US and Canada. Jet Records sued UA and abruptly switched their worldwide distribution to CBS Records early in 1978.

The release includes no printed inner sleeve. Track lengths are printed on labels.

Price Code (F): A
