Description
Electric Light Orchestra - Out Of The Blue
(Jet Records JETDP 400 UK LP 1977)
This is a 1978 Limited Edition UK Double LP pressing in great overall condition! The records are pressed on translucent Blue Vinyl. It has a heavyweight shiny matt gatefold sleeve. The inner gatefold is printed on non shiny matt card. There is a large circular "Blue Vinyl" company sticker on the front of the sleeve. It comes with both its original Lyric Inner Sleeves. These are printed on card & have die-cut corner tip areas. The records are pressed on thick translucent Blue Vinyl. They have 1st press A2/ B1/ C1/ D3 matrix stampers. "ALLEN" is machine etched in the dead wax on all 4 sides.
This copy also comes complete with its original gatefold Poster, & its original gatefold "ELO Spaceship" model Insert. This is printed on card. The individual pieces are attached at some perforations. It is all complete with every piece still attached at the perforations. Hard to find like this! Overall, a very decent Blue Vinyl UK 1st pressing from 1978. These are not that common.
Gatefold Sleeve: There is some light, mild or very mild rubbing wear to the corner tips. There is a very small 1 cm area of mild hairline rubbing wear at the bottom of the spine. Otherwise, the spine is in great condition. There is some light, very mild or very minor ringwear on some areas. A strong EXCELLENT condition.
Vinyl 1: There are a few light, mild or very mild sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. These are on Side 1 only. The inner sleeve, over time, has left some light, very mild or very minor dull surface marks on a few areas. These, again, can hardly be seen under a strong light. Side 1 is in Very Good+ condition. Side 2 is in Excellent+ condition. Overall, NEAR EXCELLENT condition. The labels are in Near Mint condition and show next to no spindle wear.
The Inner Sleeve is in a strong Very Good condition. There is light, mild or very mild ringwear. There is some light, mild or very mild rubbing wear on the side edges on some areas. There are a couple of light creases. There are no seam splits.
I have play tested this LP in its entirety & it plays Excellent to Excellent+ overall, & Near Perfect to Perfect in many places. A top audio copy!
Vinyl 2: There are a very few light or very minor sleeve rubs which can hardly be seen under a strong light. The inner sleeve, over time, has left some light, very mild or very minor dull surface marks on a few areas. They are mainly on Side 4. These, again, can only be seen under a strong light. Side 1 is in Near Mint condition. Side 2 is in Excellent condition. Overall, EXCELLENT+ condition. The labels are in Near Mint condition and show next to no spindle wear.
The Inner Sleeve is in Very Good+ condition. There is light, mild or very mild ringwear. There is some light, mild or very mild rubbing wear on the side edges on some areas. There is some light, mild or very mild foxing on a few areas. This is not too noticeable. There are no seam splits.
I have play tested this LP in its entirety & it plays Excellent to Excellent+ overall, & Near Perfect to Perfect in many places. A top audio copy!
The "ELO Spaceship Model" Gatefold Insert is in Excellent condition. It show minimal wear only. As stated, all the parts are still attached at its perforations. These are very fragile. Consequently, these are hard to find like this.
The Poster is in Near Excellent condition. There is a mild 14 cm crease at the centre spine area. Otherwise, light or very minor handling creases on a few areas. It has never been put on a wall.
I shall place each LP into a separate plain paper inner sleeve. This will protect the original inner sleeve from any damage during the shipping process.
Traceable insurance is already included in the stated P&P price for this listing.
Discount is given on P&P for multiple purchases. I shall always weigh combined purchases to get a completely accurate price. So please wait for the invoice to be sent before paying. Please see below for a more detailed description.
Please note that "Royal Mail" have been having problems with delays to overseas parcels from the UK. This was due to a recent cyber attack. They are now, I believe, starting to sort through their backlog of parcels. So hopefully they will fully resolve this issue very shortly. However, if the parcel situation with Royal Mail is not satisfactorily resolved, I will try and use other couriers for shipping on non UK orders where possible. I will do my utmost to ensure that your order arrives safely & in the quickest time possible. Please message me with any queries regarding this.
MINT Condition = This is as perfect a copy as you are likely to find. The cover will show no, or next to no, wear. The vinyl will be unplayed or very, very near unplayed.
NEAR MINT Condition = Nearly mint, just slightly under. There maybe some minor paper/ inner sleeve rubs that can only be seen under strong light. This disc has been played only a few times & has been extremely well cared for. The cover is nearly perfect - Minimal wear only.
EX Condition = An excellent copy will show only mild, or minor, signs of use. There will be light, or very mild, sleeve rubs that can only be seen under strong light. There may be a very small & minor hairline mark in some instances. Play will be excellent or better. There may be some light, or very light, crackle in a few quieter places. There will be no clicks or pops. The sleeve will show mild, or minor, rubbing wear & ringwear only.
NEAR EX Condition = This has been played a few more times but it has been well cared for. There will be mild sleeve rubs which can be seen under a strong light. There may be a couple of minor, or light, hairline marks. Playback will be generally excellent. There may be some light or mild crackle in some quieter places. The cover will show mild rubbing wear, ringwear or creasing
VG Condition = Most records that have been quite well played, but reasonably well cared for, tend to fit into this category. This is probably the most varied of the gradings so I have elaborated below.
There may be mild to more moderate sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. There may be a few light hairline marks but nothing too bad. A quite well played but serviceable copy. Playback will be very agreeable overall. There will be light or mild crackle in some places. There may also be a few light clicks. A more thorough description will always be on the listing. The record will certainly not be trashed!
The cover will show more noticeable signs of storage or use. There will be mild to more moderate rubbing wear on some edges There could be fading, ringwear or a minor seam split. There could be some mild creasing or mild sticker tears.
Please note that I also use "+" or "-" symbols for this grading. A plus symbol is obviously at the top end of "Very Good" & is really not far from being in "near excellent" condition. The minus symbol obviously means it is at the lower end. This will mean that it is near to being in "Good+" condition.
>> Postage Rates
AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT TO YOU VERY SOON AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS. PLEASE WAIT FOR THIS BEFORE PAYING.
Royal Mail have very recently increased their postage rates. So I have revised my postage costs to reflect their increases. (Please note that these prices include packaging costs too)
Double LPs are classed as two LPs. Also gatefold sleeves, posters, inserts, etc.. can increase postage costs. One parcel must not exceed 2kg (approximately 4-6 LP's).
Please note that there are now VAT import charges from the UK into all EU countries. Anything under 150 Euros will need an IOSS number. VAT is paid at point of sale. For any items over 150 Euros in value. There will be a customs charge too. These vary, I believe, from country to country. Please check your relevant postal service online for details. Please note that these charges are beyond my control and are now the law for outside parcels going into the EU.
All records will be sent in high quality vinyl mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7" Single. I use a cruciform box for larger orders (3-6 LPs). All parcels will be marked "Fragile" and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.
I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve & place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve; I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve & place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP(s).
I consider my postage & packaging costs to be very transparent & very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between £0.80 to £1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...
If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any questions.
Remember to check out My Other Items Lots of rare & quality vinyl! Most are UK 1st Pressings. It is quite likely that there will be more records by this artist, or records in a similar vein.
