ELO Vinyl Set Sweepstakes
Register to win a copy of ELO's 2LP collector's picture disc edition of Out of the Blue we are giving away.
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.

Would bring back great memories
Would be nice to win something for a change. If only to get one of the band members to sign it for me as I only live a few miles away!
A dreamy album that would be great to hear on my new system.
Thank you
... which was in my junior year of High School - but I'll settle for winning this contest!
Ok
...then I'd be able to say I heard it at least once.
New vinyl of this would be a great addition to my collection.
Yes please!! :-D
Nice prize!
jeff lynne at his best
Why not?
Count me in!

It's an outstanding concert.
Count me in!

Evil Woman
A new vinyl copy to replace my 30 year old one would be fantastic!
thanks.
Why Not.
Yes!
My wife LOVES ELO and would be so excited.
Def the holiday gift.
Great stuff from a great band!
It'd be very nice.
How to cure cynicism: Surrender to the pop genius of ELO.
Yes, count me in.
I'm in.
One of my great regrets, not have enough common sense in my youth, went the way of digital and disposed of great vinyl like this long ago. Would love to be able to re-build!
Can't wait.
Love a fresh copy!
The 2LP collector's picture disc edition of Out of the Blue was remastered from the original master tapes and would sound great on my new GE Tech speaker system. Marry Christmas to all.
I never win contests. This would be a first!
Awesome
Would love this album..
This album, originally considered to be named "Out of This World," is the Maestro Jeff Lynne's magnum opus. In 40 years, I've never tired of it, and have worn out an 8-track and a couple of LPs. Fortunately, my CD might last forever, just like this music. Looking forward to seeing you in Denver in August, Jeff!
and a Happy New year to all the staff and readers of Stereophile
gimme that vinyl boys
Thanks for the opportunity
Thanks for another contest. Merry Xmas.
Merry Christmas!
Awesome Mix Vol. 2 for the movie Guardians of the Galaxy 2 reminded me of how awesome ELO is. I am hooked on Mr. Blue Skies! This song makes me happy no matter how bad my day is.
Thanks.
I hope I win.
See how the sun shines brightly!
Got to see them in Toronto. The album would be the icing on the cake.
Splunge?

Gotta jump at the opportunity to add a classic to the collection free of charge.
Thanks for the opportunity!

Love this LP! My fascination with ELO began with Strange Magic, continued with A New World's Record and then I got this LP!!! Awesome... One of the best things about my current vinyl collection and I'd love to add this new pressing to it. :)

Happy Holidays. Got a gap in my collection to fill and you are the ones to make it happen.
I listened to this on 8 track hundreds of times when it was new. Great memories and fun times!
Count me in.
Would love to have a good copy of this!!
A terrific band that started out on United Artists Records and they’ve created some fantastic music over the years...
They formed their own record label, JET Records and then moved over to Epic/CBS Records.
It would be great to win their new remastered “;Out of the Blue” LP as I have the original vinyl of this album.
Marc in Rhod Island

CD was stellar and I would expect the vinyl to be no exception.
My first arena concert. Mesmerizing and memorable!
I was just thinking about this group the other day and remembering just how much I enjoyed them long ago. Would be fun to listen again!
