Up for grabs today is a double album picture disc set from ELO! From the official press release:
40th Anniversary Edition Picture Disc Double LP.
Remastered From Original Master Tapes!
Features "Mr. Blue Sky", "Sweet Talkin' Woman", and "Turn To Stone"!
Celebrating the 40th anniversary of ELO’s top-selling double album, 'Out of the Blue', Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, releases the first-time-ever picture disc edition of the ELO classic.
This 2LP collector’s picture disc edition of 'Out of the Blue' was remastered from the original master tapes and includes a limited time digital download of the album.
ELO was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on April 7, 2017.
One of the indisputable masterpieces – and most commercially successful titles – in the ELO canon, 'Out of the Blue', the group’s seventh studio album, was originally released in October 1977. The musical and conceptual brainchild of Jeff Lynne, who wrote and produced the entire album, 'Out of the Blue' is among the most ambitious double albums in classic rock history, a complex and visionary work that included, as the album’s complete Side 3, Lynne’s “Concerto for a Rainy Day,” a coherent song suite comprised of four movements and authentic ambient weather effects recorded by Lynne and incorporated into the soundscape of the record.
'Out of the Blue' was the first ELO album to feature the group’s logo as a three-dimensional flying saucer/space station, a visual motif central to ELO’s live shows. The album, which peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200 has gone on to sell upwards of 10 million copies worldwide. 'Out of the Blue' is the first double album in UK chart history to spawn four Top 20 singles.
"Forty years on, I would never have imagined that this music would take on a life of its own," says Lynne.

The only flaw on this is two small splits on the sleeve, from damage incurred in shipping. Hardly noticeable! The records have been gently handled for pics only, and never played! The download is still good! It doesn't state 180 or 200 gram vinyl, but it sure feels a lot heavier than a normal record/pic disc!
Payment is expected within a day of using the 'buy it now' option, or immediately if I accept your best offer, unless other arrangements are made. International shipping is available through Ebay's Global Shipping Program. Contact me with any questions or concerns, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
