( ELO ) Electric Light Orchestra / Out of the Blue
Japan Orig. 2LP


United Artists GXG 1025 / 26

Appendices: "Original OBI", "G/F Cover", “Inner-Bags”, “Japanese Insert”, “Pin-Up” & "Members’ Autograph”
( SPACESHIP PAPER CRAFT is missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1977 ) of their double best album, comin' with rare appendices. What’s interesting is the enclosed “Autographs of members ( Jeff Lynne, Bev Bevan, Richard Tandy, Kelly Groucutt, Mik Kaminski, Melvyn Gale & Hugh McDowell )”. Though it’s a “printed autograph”, it was officially issued by King Records ( United Artists ) in limited number for this Japanese album. Though the paper craft of spaceship is missing, it’s still hard to find Japanese original copy of this album with “autograph” even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
