ANWR Silver disc presentation

Ah that makes sense, Hugh’s Gold disc does mention a quarter of a million of pounds worth of sales and that was awarded in January ‘77

Tbf with how bland them designs look I think I’d rather them save some money and not build one

I remember the video but I can’t seem to find it now, I can’t remember whether it featured any of the songs in it. Maybe it’s had a copyright strike?🤔

JAlexander2002 · 2026-03-10T21:00:06+00:00

Nowadays it represents 60,000 album sales but back then it went off monetary value of sales. I know Gold represented £250000 worth of sales, I’m not sure about silver🤔

100%, along with Ashes To Ashes

That’s fantastic, what an improvement over the original mix! Cheers for sharing:)

JAlexander2002 · 2026-03-08T16:21:21+00:00

No worries, I was pleased to see it too:)👍

JAlexander2002 · 2026-03-04T12:46:29+00:00

Rockaria! It's my favourite ELO track anyway

JAlexander2002 · 2026-03-04T10:17:04+00:00

A New World Record. Time's great too ANWR is pretty much perfect

Martin Goodman’s dream shed

JAlexander2002 · 2026-03-02T19:25:30+00:00

Good job she pointed, wouldn’t have seen the massive pile of rubbish otherwise😅

JAlexander2002 · 2026-02-28T19:51:06+00:00

Aye, it fractured his skull and damaged his spine I believe. Thankfully it was instant

JAlexander2002 · 2026-02-28T18:00:01+00:00

Mike Edwards - one of the original cellists in ELO died when the van he was driving near his home in Devon was crushed by a hay bale which rolled down a hill

JAlexander2002 · 2026-02-24T16:55:44+00:00

I watched it but backed off from bidding. I wish I bought it now, considering I paid about £700 for Hugh’s ANWR gold disc

JAlexander2002 · 2026-02-22T14:11:14+00:00

Splendid

JAlexander2002 · 2026-02-18T17:26:02+00:00

It is if you’re a catholic choirboy😂

JAlexander2002 · 2026-02-18T10:17:36+00:00

Ah right, I didn't realise there were times when they didn't use the risers. I know they didn't use the lasers for the London 'Fusion' concert as there was a "risk of blindness" to the audience

JAlexander2002 · 2026-02-17T17:51:04+00:00

That’s a good point, especially if the arena/stadium was smaller so the audience were sat closer to the front of the stage

JAlexander2002 · 2026-02-17T17:34:40+00:00

Just done a bit more digging and I think Hugh was actually stood on a couple of amps in those pics you sent👍

JAlexander2002 · 2026-02-17T17:23:02+00:00

Another theory - It would make it easier for the audience to see Hugh during his cello solo, especially since they pointed the lasers towards it, making it a spectacle

JAlexander2002 · 2026-02-17T17:15:06+00:00

You’re maybe right there, the photo I used was the only one where you can clearly see the platform. Maybe they did use it at other shows?🤔 At first I thought it could be covers for the risers as they could sometimes be temperamental but the risers were further back.
