Electric Light Orchestra / limited edition clear vinyl pressings

Sony are to reissue three classic Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) albums just before Christmas, as limited edition clear vinyl pressings.

The long-players in question are 1977’s ten million selling Out of the Blue, its predecessor New World Record (1976) and ELO’s fourth studio album, 1974’s Eldorado.

The former is a gatefold package with the double album pressed on two discs of clear vinyl. A New World Record, which features the hits Livin’ Thing, Telephone Line and Rockaria is a one-LP release, as is Eldorado.

These are limited to 5,000 (of each) worldwide, with around 1,000 or so allocated to the UK market.

All three albums are released on 18 December 2015 (8 Jan in Germany).
