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 ELOs 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 collectors 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 groups 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 albums complete Side 3, Lynnes 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 groups logo as a three-dimensional flying saucer/space station, a visual motif central to ELOs 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.
