spIN Focus - ELO - Out of the Blue

Get ready for spIN Focus as we spin ELO's dazzling double LP, Out of the Blue! This masterpiece includes hits like "Mr. Blue Sky" and "Turn to Stone," alongside the iconic "Concerto for a Rainy Day." Join us to experience Jeff Lynne's symphonic rock and futuristic pop as intended: on vinyl!

Released in 1977, Out of the Blue is the pinnacle of ELO's extravagant vision, successfully blending rock instrumentation with lush, cinematic orchestration and sci-fi themes. This ambitious double album, with its famed flying saucer cover art, is a joyous journey through four distinct sides of music, culminating in the cohesive and brilliant suite on Side Three.

Join us at The Listyning Room for a deep, communal listening experience where every layer of strings, vocal harmony, and classic rock groove is revealed on our state-of-the-art sound system featuring high-end equipment by Audio Note, Klipsch, and Cambridge Audio.

spIN Focus is not an extended presentation. We begin with a brief introduction and then play through of the full album. We open on Saturdays at 1:00 pm for Open Spin (BYO music) and record cleaning. The feature LP spins at 4:00pm.
