K. Kase:
 
<<Back in 1990, when Jeff Lynne's distinctive  stamp of production was really 
hot, a release called Armchair Theatre slipped  under the radar. I knew that 
this CD had been out of print for some time and  that it was fetching $50+ on 
eBay/ Fifteen years and several girlfriends later,  I finally found a 
near-mint copy at a pawn shop here in St. Louis for $3.   It's exactly as I remembered 
it--full of great hooks and classic George Harrison  slide guitar lines. Does 
anyone else share my fondness for this release?   If you have a copy, hold on 
to it. It might be worth a few  bucks.>>
 
I love this record, also.  Chock full of hooks and  proof of the theory that 
in his own mad way, Lynne is a pop genius.
 
Don't think the "Armchair Theater" CD is worth all that  much, though, as 
I've seen copies go for less than $10 on eBay recently,  including one that sold 
for .99 cents.
