The labels of ELO UK Vinyl Issues through the years...
ELO were first signed to EMI Harvest Records, then Warner Brothers and then the famous Jet (aka Jeff...) Records.
Polydor was the first distributor for Face The Music album, then United Artists was the distribution company for the albums A New World Record and Out Of The Blue and used record labels that were green/blue with yellow & white light beams. When Jet Records changed to CBS for distribution in 1978, eventually in 1979 new record labels were designed that were a brighter blue with pink & white light beams.
Except for the LP "Time" as the LP music style was meant to be more like the prog rock of the mid 1970's so the older yellow & white light beams design was used !
Finally Jet Records was taken over by Epic/Sony.
The changes in record companies and distributors made for some interesting UK label designs through the years.

Side 1 and Side 2 do not match.
This is because there is an below stack and a above stack of labels feeding to the pressing stampers.
No one in the pressing plant or Jet Records took notice if different labels were loaded in the feeders.
And that is the reason why sometimes wrong labels or different labels were on the same record.
