58. E.L.O.'s Out of the Blue (1977) - Should It Have Been A Single Album?

Trimming The Musical Fat - A podcast by Stephen Nicholson

Categories:

‘Out of the Blue’ was a huge success for E.L.O. back in 1977. A double album which included the hit singles Mr Blue Sky & Turn To Stone, it remains the band’s best seller. But would it have been better as a single vinyl, under 50 minute album?  That’s the question podcast hosts Stephen & Paul Nicholson ask, as they, along with their guests, critique the album & create the TTMF Supercut of it. Look out for ELO jokes; what was going on in 1977; archive interview clips; and facts about the band & album.  Guests are Eric & Eric from the Face The Music: An Electric Light Orchestra Song-By-Song Podcast; and Pablos guitarist & vocalist Paul Murphy.  Look out for a bonus episode containing the (almost) unedited conversation we had with Eric & Eric.  Like the podcast?
