Frontiers Issued ELO & Jeff Lynne CDs & Vinyl LPs
​
Starting In 2012 Frontiers Records issued a series of 5 albums in CD & LP vinyl format for ELO & Jeff Lynne as a solo artist.
​
All the CDs were all made in Italy for the whole world, (except Japan and South Korea) along with the first issue vinyl LP's which were also made in Italy for the whole word. These issues have the catalogue number starting "FR"
​
But Frontiers Records was too small to deliver to the whole world, so the vinyl LP’s were re-issued in the UK by "Let Them Eat Vinyl" for the whole world. These issues have the catalogue number starting "LETV"
The Frontier issues were also re-issued in 2018 by Sony Legacy in a box set with slim cardboard sleeves with red CDs inside, as shown below. The CDs were not issued individually.
Below is list of all known original issued versions. Green Text means "Missing From My Collection."

The first issue CD in a Jewel Case used the wrong booklet rear image (taken from the booklet from the cardboard issue) so when folded out did not match up with the front image.

​
Above errors were corrected in the 2nd Jewel Case CD issue
​
The USA CD issue is the same as the UK/Euro issue.
