Beautifully preserved copy of The Electric Light Orchestra's 1977 release of "Out of the Blue" on JET records - JET DP 400.  Double LP in a limited blue vinyl format. The albums gatefolded sleeve is remarkably well preserved and opens up beautifully with virtually no sings of wear and tear - there are very minor scuffs to the corners that's all - more than likely consistent with storage over the years.The spine is very good - showing minimal scuffing to the centre/lower edge - this does not effect the overall presentation.The front  sleeve still retains a factory placed sticker showing "Special Edition Blue Vinyl" (see photo). The vinyls: Side 1: Retains an excellent glossy sheene,there are several occasional random surface marks and very light scratches visible under close scrutiny(held into direct sunlight) of which I would best guess are as a result of sleeve insertion/removal. Side 2: Retains an excellent glossy sheene,again as with side one there are a couple of very small surface scratches and random surface marks visible under close scrutiny(held into direct sunlight) of which again, I would best guess are as a result of sleeve insertion/removal. Side 3: Retains an excellent glossy sheene, again, under close scrutiny(held into direct sunlight) one can detect one or two light/random surface marks/scratches,again, I would best guess are as a result of sleeve insertion/removal. Side 4: Retains an excellent glossy sheene, under close scrutiny one can detect several surface marks/scratches (when held into direct sunlight)again, I would best guess are as a result of sleeve insertion/removal. In all the vinyl's are nicely preserved and present very well for their age(nearly 40 years old) - it is my considered opinion that the audio quality should not be unduly effected over and above the traditional "crackles and pops" that is often associated with ageing vinyl - regretfully I do not possess any audio equipment to further enhance the appraisal of the actual sound quality so cannot guarantee 100% faithful reproduction - but a visual inspection easily convinces me that it should be very good.(please see photo's)
The labels on all four sides are beautifully preserved and present in a nice clean manner.
The albums inner sleeves are nice  and clean looking - no writing rips or tears - also present is the original poster that was issued with the album, that is also clean and tidy.
Kindly note, I require a signature against postal receipt in order to ensure safe delivery at a minimal cost, I do not seek to gain from postage and packaging and will ensure that the album is packaged to a good standard.Thankyou.
