- I have a copy which has the same rear cover as this one, but runouts are different, and the labels have the same layout and codes as this promo copy but in colour like other ones. Strange

Can't believe I just found this for £15 on Vinted, sounds amazing as well, best pressing I've heard, far better than my US pressing
I happened to find a pretty clean copy of this and it sounds great. Clear vocals, nice and balanced, open sounding.
This pressing sounds very pleasant to my ears. I never compared to another pressing, but in comparison to other good quality records of other artists this one here sounds amazing in all aspects.referencing Out Of The Blue (2×LP, Album, Limited Edition, Picture Disc, Reissue, Stereo) 88985456161
Mine is dead quiet. This classic overproduced gem sounds great.
Upper-mids a bit too forward for me, but otherwise flawless.
referencing Out of the Blue (2×LP, Album) JTLA-823-L2
For those that have this this version, this has a unique single pressing ring that is about 30-31mm, while the majority of the out of the Blue copies have a larger ring; if they do have the smaller ring, it is usually accompanied by a secondary muffin top. this one only has the small 30mm ring with darker labels. Sure would like to know more about who might have pressed it, and the date. The sound quality is absolutely phenomenal, if this is the same as mine, which it appears it is. Please share any additional info that you might have about this issue. https://www.discogs.com/release/18697039-Electric-Light-Orchestra-Out-of-the-Blue
I bought Out of the Blue on CD on Amazon back in 2018 and I got this misprint.- this sounds AMAZING, and i’m playing it on a terrible record player
This set of images are serious different from other variants. No original Jet logo, many mistakes, ( wild wet hero etc)
