For sale is this UK reissue blue vinyl double album by ELO. Entitled Out Of The Blue, it contains 17 tracks (see pictures for track listing) and is housed in a stickered gatefold sleeve and original printed lyric inner sleeves. Also included is the original fold-out poster (but no spaceship cut-out). On the Jet label, the catalogue number is JETDP 400 and the date of issue is 1978.
Out Of The Blue was originally released in 1977, on black vinyl only, with the catalogue number UAR 100. No blue vinyl copies were released in 1977. It was then reissued with a new catalogue number, JETDP 400, in 1978 on both black and blue vinyl. Some copies of this 1978 reissue used up old leftover stock of UAR 100 sleeves (some with a JETDP 400 sticker added to the back) but all 1978 copies have JETDP 400 labels. This copy has a correct JETDP 400 sleeve.

All vinyl records are strictly graded according to Record Collector magazine's grading system, the long established UK standard, with any specific flaws mentioned along with the grading. They are sent in custom-made mailers, with built-in or added stiffeners, and are packaged outside their sleeves to prevent edge splits. Singles without a picture sleeve will either have a plain sleeve or a correct-era original (not repro) record company sleeve (stated above). Original record company sleeves may not be the exact sleeve issued with the single so may have a different catalogue number hand-written in the corner but they will be the correct design for the single. They may have a bit of wear, writing, stickers, sticker marks etc but will be in a generally good, useable condition without edge splits or sellotape.
