ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA ● WHEN TIME STOOD STILL

ANDROIDEO # 41 ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA ● WHEN TIME STOOD STILL Back in 1981 my beautiful Auntie Joan was visiting from Selly Oak in Birmingham. She was my Dad's sister. We all loved her and her husband Henry who smoked Grand Parade cigarettes incessantly. On their last day of visiting, Auntie Joan brought me into Dublin city centre to get me something for my upcoming birthday on August 9th 1981. I only wanted 1 thing. 'Hold On Tight' by ELO in its picture sleeve. I walked in to Golden Discs on Mary Street and said to the guy behind the counter "ELO's new single please". He turned around and picked a white sleeved copy from below the picture sleeves. I SCREAMED SO LOUD my dear Auntie Joan nearly fainted. "I WANT THE PICTURE SLEEVE VERSION PLEASE". Begrudgingly (fuck knows why?) he obliged. I've still got it. My Auntie passed away about a month later in Birmingham. She was so young. And everytime I hear either the A or B side of this wonderful pop single, I think of her. And now I've made an Androideo for that b-side, 'When Time Stood Still'. Back in 1981, my soon to be 12 year old brain would have exploded at the thought of such satanistic wizardry.
