August 29, 1981 –
ELO’s album, Time, went to No. 1 on the U.K. charts on this date. It was their second album to do so.
There is a backward message on the Time album. Actually, it’s on the interlude between Twilight and Yours Truly, 2095, but on the Time CD it’s attached to Twilight from [3:22] to [3:36]. It’s simply a backwards run verse from 21st Century Man: “Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow, you still wander the fields of your sorrow“. This trick is repeated at the end of 21st Century Man, just before Hold On Tight.
