  • I've heard that there's an alternate version of this song with different lyrics out there somewhere, but I've never actually heard it, would be great if anyone can find it and upload it. I'm surprised they didn't put this on the re-release of Balance of power along with all the other bonus tracks on there - It's a great song! ELO FTW!!! =)

  • @Tim26Tim Yeah, there is a version with alternate lyrics (it was on the 12" single of 'So Serious'). I don't have the alternate version though I have heard about 30 seconds of it. I was also surprised this wasn't on the re-release of Balance of Power too. As far as I'm aware, the only CD release this song has ever had was on the Afterglow box set, but that was about 20 years ago, and the alternate version has had no official CD release at all (along with 'Drum Dreams').

  • Do you or anyone on here know who can post Loser Gone Wild for me ? THANKS!

  • Yes, someone has posted Loser Gone Wild. I'm not sure o posted it, but it has definately been posted.

  • Sorry, I've said "I'm not sure o" I meant "I'm not sure who"

  • @WillowCreekPictures Geat! - Could you post it to youtube? - Really want to hear that! :D

  • @Tim26Tim Exciting evening for me as an ELO fan, I have discovered a higher quality recording of Matter of Fact Alternate & the full 4:28 version of Jeff Lynnes Indian Queen.

  • @Tim26Tim Are you still looking for it? I have a 128 bit version. I downloaded somewhere, don't know where it originated from but it's the proper track. I wish it could bought properly. Let me know if you would like it. I have Drum Dreams too, again after an extensive hunt!

  • @Tim26Tim I have a 128kbits mp3 which I found somewhere online. I'm still looking for a high quality version, it is odd that it wasn't released as they could have retrieved it off a vinyl.

  • @ELONut And at 1:41 it's a similar sound effect to Cupcake doing her magic in the Happy Days cartoon.

  • 5 minutes ago id never heard it.Yet again,i have another little gem in the memory,thanks to the great Jeff Lynne.
