Electric Light Orchestra - Out of the Blue

Home to ELO's world hit Mr. Blue Sky, Out Of The Blue is a multi-Platinum selling double album by the iconic pop rock band from Birmingham. Renowned for Jeff Lynn's elaborate productions and arrangements, Electric Light Orchestra proved they were able to expand on their success formula of Beatlesque classic rock songs. The album yielded classic ELO songs such as Turn To Stone, Sweet Talkin' Woman and Wild West Hero, all becoming hits in the UK. A nine-month tour followed its release in 1977 that set new visual standards for stadium rock acts, incorporating a giant space ship, fog machines and laser displays.
