Jeff Lynne - Sooner or Later (better sound quality)

To watch in stereo:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaWa9f_Coao&fmt=18

'Sooner or Later' is Jeff Lynne's third contribution for the film 'Electric Dreams' and it was released as the b-side of 'Video!' in 1984.

(By the way, the clip of Jeff Lynne in the hot air balloon is a clip I made for a video that I haven't finished yet, but the clips of the record player and the house are from the 'Let it Run' scene in the film 'Electric Dreams' and the clips of Jeff in the studio are from the 'Video!' promo)

I've reposted this because the audio on the original posting was crap (it was 'hissy', mono and slightly faster). However, i'm not going to remove the original posting.

Well, I had this Electric Dreams LP in the 1980´s. But not anymore.

I rememmber Video ! and Let It Run but

I can´t remember this nice song would have included in that LP.

Maybe in CD album version, perhaps ?

How is it ?

You're right, it wasn't on the LP and I don't think it's on the CD either. It is 'Video!'s b-side (along with an instrumental version of 'Video!' on the 12"). I don't know why it wasn't on the LP. It would have fitted nicely with the other Jeff Lynne contributions.

You said you had the LP - does the LP have a different cover to the CD? I'm sure it does...

Damn this was SUCH A GOOD SONG!

WHY, WHY, WHY can I not get it anywhere (not even on iTunes!)?

I keep finding more little gems of the great man's work..Jeff Lynne rules xxx

@markomarten He may not have been a BEATLE, but he was so tight with George Harrison; he might as well have been. The TRAVELING WILBURYS was the best!!!! The tribute concert and I think he was in Bangladesh. There's 3members left in the Wilburys. Hope they don't quit, even if George was the heart. They were all good together. I didn't hear this song in Electric Dreams though.

I think this was released at a time when Jeff wanted to end ELO.Sadly it is very hard to get some of his stuff as it doesn't feature on any albums or I-tunes.Jeff is a legend ,I wish we could have all his stuff under one umbrella as it were.He might not be a Beatle but he knows his stuff.

Stuck in my head. ;_;

Jeff Lynne proving once again that his b-sides are better than most artist's a-sides!

[SheriffTankStoner]

@Rndmpro Sooner or Later would've been a perfect fit along side 'Without Someone'

[no1elofaniknow]

Very sexy song for Jeff!

[himself801]

Sooner or Later is not the CD version currently offerred for sale by Amazon, but the description does identify it as the B side to the single of "Video!' .

Even by vinyl standards the album was on the brief side. There was room to include this song, marketing strategy perhaps to get people to buy both?

Probably deem unworthy for the album and B sides are often just something to fill space that they can collect royalties.

Maybe both.

@FinnMove

This song was ONLY found on an EP as an extra song with Video. It was not on the Electric Dreams album
