RARE ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA: Out Of The Blue LTD ED complete '78 17 track LP Welcome to my listings.

Before you place a bid would you / could you take the time to please read my listing including the Terms & Conditions.
Terms & Conditions you will find below at the bottom of my listing and unless I have mis-written them I believe they are quite clear. If they are not or you wish to clarify anything then please message/email me before bidding.

If you just want to skip to the details about this item, see the descriptive text below and check out the photos in the listing by enlarging and scrolling through.

All the LP's that are listed have been cleaned by The Audio Desk Systeme Vinyl Pro Cleaner which incorporates an ultrasonic cleaning cycle to a more conventional mechanical cleaning via bi-directional rotating micro fiber cleaning drums, the result is the cleanest LP's ever. Unlike other record cleaners the ultrasonic Vinyl Cleaner bursts millions of microscopic bubbles off the surface of the record all the way to the bottom of the groove, where no fibre is fine enough to reach. Among vinyl cleaners the Audio Desk System Vinyl Cleaner is unique in using filtered air for drying, rather than one of the static-inducing suction systems employed by other vinyl cleaning products.

All items are packed and dispatched in heavy duty LP mailers with cardboard reinforcements. I use heavy duty packaging tape. I always separate the LP from the sleeve and any inner sleeves that are part of the LP. This stops any damage to the item while in transit.

ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA: Out Of The Blue RARE and very hard to find Limited Edition Original 1978 UK issue of the 1977 17-track double LP pressed exclusively on Blue Vinyl, featuring Turn To Stone, Sweet Talkin' Woman, Mr Blue Sky & Wild WestHero. Comes housed in the original blue hype stickered gatefold picture sleeve with lyric printed card inner sleeves, fold-out poster and un-used self-assembly 'spaceship' cut-out card. The sleeve and vinyl are Near Mint. A superb collector's copy JETDP400

NOT PLAY GRADED: Please note that this is a used item and there is always isolated static, ticks, light pops that maybe or can be heard, even in the quieter places during the play of any vinyl. There will be elements of surface noise. More noise than others. Please remember that this is an original 43 year old vinyl. A habit of cleaning the vinyl with a carbon brush before each play will reduce any static. If possible you should have the LP professionally cleaned.

I cannot guarantee exactly how this LP will sound on your turntable/system - Cartridge and stylus profile, tracking weight, Arm VTA, arm type all go to make a difference to the sound of an LP.

THE COVER: The glossy gatefold sleeve cover shows virtually no wear to the top and bottom edges nor spine. There is only the lightest visible wear to the corners. There is virtually no surface storage scuffing immaculate condition. The opening edges are still crisp very no evidence of fethering. There are no signs of any other forms of damage. I have graded the cover in NEAR MINT condition.

THE BACK COVER: The back is reflective of the front and has virtually no storage scuffing. There is just one very minor crease to the top left corner, otherwise there are no other defects. I have graded the back cover again in NEAR MINT condition.

THE POSTER: The Poster has been graded in NEAR MINT condition with no visible signs of damage

THE CUT-OUT: The illustrated cut-out has been graded in NEAR MINT condition with no visible signs of damage

THE INNER SLEEVE: Both illustrated card inners have been graded in EXCELLENT++ Condition

THE VINYL: All sides of this double vinyl LP reveal a very clean deep beautiful shine. There are no deep scratches to any side of this LP. There are only whimsical hairline marks to all sides when held under a strong light. I have graded the vinyl in EXCELLENT++ condition.
Side 1 in EXCELLENT++ condition. Side 2 in EXCELLENT++ condition.
Side 1 in EXCELLENT++ condition. Side 2 in EXCELLENT++ condition.

THE LABELS: The labels are in NEAR MINT condition showing virtually no spindle marks or wear around the central spindle hole.
