ELO Vinyl Set Sweepstakes
According to the company:
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.
The 2LP collector's picture disc edition of Out of the Blue was remastered from the original master tapes and includes a digital download of the album.

I'll take Mr. Lynne for a spin.
The first comment slot doesn't win, right? I suspect if your scrolling through a list, the chosen are likely in the middle. Not the first or last. Or maybe there is some sort of statistical chart showing probabilities of... ah, forget it. I'm putting on some Hank.
Classic album, could use a new one as my daughter took my original away to college
Lucky winner!
One of the classic’s! Great album to have in anyone collection. Would love for it to be in mine. :)
Thanks for the opportunity
Cool. Fingers crossed
This was the very first album I ever bought. Thanks for the opportunity to win an update copy!
Curious how it stands against UK1P
...with that picture disc.
I'd love to win this.
Yes please!! :-D
Thanks, Michael.
I could not get into this one back in 1977, nor a New World Record. It took a lot of years to be able to play these end to end, but now they are staples on my playlist.
Chris
I'm in!
Count me in
Pick me please!
Count me in!
I would sure like to add that to my collection.

Out of the blue arrived on my doorstep, for I was the winner of a picture disc set. Thanks everybody.
Great album! Thanks.
Where were you when you first heard this album? I don't remember; too many brain cells ago. But boy was the music Out of The Blue.
I can be bribed into creating an account. Please throw my name into the hat!

I would enjoy this as I only have one other ELO.
Y’all take care,
Robert
But I wonder, is this the way life's meant to be?
"I never win anything"
I'll take this...
...waving hand wildly above my head...
I have some ELO albums, but I have struggled to find a well-mastered good sounding one so it would be interesting to hear what they have done with this release.
Can’t wait to win this!!
Let's do this.
Just in time for Christmas.
For some reason, this is the only ELO album I dont have. This would be amazing. Thanks for all that you do!
Cliff

Almost my favorite is "Turn to Stone"
Pick me!
fun!
Please enter me in the contest.
Should be a great listen!
I love ELO, and own this album, but in the highly uncolored version. This would be great to display-
I want it badly!
Miss the Wizard but Jeff Lynne is ok!
Loved this album in 1977 and looking forward to this release!!
Get me out of the blues, by winning
and into the hat
I'll take mine in Blue.
I love colored vinyl and picture discs. This one has quality toons, too.
This would be nice
I hope I win.

It will definitely be a blue sky if I win this.

Wonderful trip back in time.
Thanks for the opportunity!
junior year of high school. great time and lp.
Please sign me up!!
:)
Please add me to the lottery. Thanks!
ELO made many fine records including Out of the Blue. For me, Face The Music resonates strongest, but Out of the Blue isn’t weak by any means.
joining the fray
Remember the UFO that was originally a part of the album? You had to cut it out yourself!
For me typically 70’s sound, this album. In an instant i’m 10 years old again.
Classic!
This would be a wonderful gift for my daughter who’s a big fan of ELO and vinyl!
Wonderful album!
Well, do I, punk?
Yes, please
This would be a very cool edition to my collection. Thanks for the contest!
Thank you!
Would love to add them to my collection. Thanks.
Would love to win this.
I wonder how the sound is. These tend to be a little spotty in terms of surface noise, but I have run across some good ones. Thanks Michael!
Please enter me.
I'm not greedy...all I need is one copy of that picture disc.
fingers crosses
Thanks
Good luck to all, and lucky the winner of this splendid Album
I hope I get lucky!
Bought this in the big Boots store in Bath, England before I even had a record player and was at school....and I still have it! Thank you for your consideration :-)
From back in the day, I am the biggest Move/Wood/Wizzard/Lynne/Idle Race/ELO fan of the universe.
Paul

"Mister blue sky is living here today, hey hey"
There it is!
As a Canadian, I'm ineligible to win the ELO LP, but I can add that I still have several LP's by The Move, a British band that transitioned into ELO (w/Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood) and they are worth seeking out....
Yes!
I would love to win !!!
Hello, ELO.Yes, I'm in it to win it with Jeff Lynne in it.
They look so good on the wall!
suppose it would be OK to win.
Would love to add this classic album to my collection.
Excellent record. Big fan of this band and would love to compare these recordings.
would go well with my others
A fan for 40 years!
Gotta love ELO!
Im really thankful that Stereophile is giving ME this fine recording.
I wanna win it!
Jeez Fremer, for a guy on vacation you get a lot of hits. Please pick me. I don't have a single ELO record.
I like ELO
I have this on pre-recorded open reel tape from 40 years ago.
Cheers!
This would be a good present. Down on my luck, losing job, almost ready to sell my stereo... :-( Hope I win. Wow, choice of album is a blast from the long past...
Would love to add to my vinyl collection.
Merry Christmas to me!
Elo, elo, elo! What do we 'ave 'ere? A worthy prize indeed.....
Ho ho ho lets do this....
1977 was a great year
Traveling Wilburys
Lets do this. My Rega is looking for something new to play.
Would love to hear this!
Ready for this.
I'm in!
Cool!
Thanks!
Wondering if picture disc technology has improved since the 80's... which is the last time I bought one, pretty sure.
Totally Awesome!
thanks for the chance!!!
Would love to win this! Thanks for the opportunity.
I have my tickets for the concert this coming summer!
The first album I ever bought for myself was OOTB, in 1977. I was 11 years old. (Also, ELO was my first concert in '81.) Actually bought an LP to keep and a cassette to listen to. I keptthe LP new and unplayed--with the poster and cardboard spaceship intact--nearly 40 years until a couple of years ago when our then-unruly puppy got into a room she shouldn't have and chewed it to pieces. Would love to have this edition.
I'd love the ELO album. Thanks for the opportunity, Mikey.
I need this album.
Thanks,
Bob
