![]() A sixth single "Latitude 88 North" was released as digital download single and as a promo 7" single. The album once again reached the top twenty album charts in the UK peaking at number 18. A push-out replica ELO Space Station is included as well as the standard jewel case edition with a full colour 12-page edited booklet. It includes full-length sleeve notes by Lynne and ELO archivist Rob Caiger, as well as rare photos and memorabilia. The 30th anniversary issue was a limited pressing in hardback book with expanded 24-page full colour booklet. The 30th Anniversary Edition was released in February 2007 with three bonus tracks, as part of the Sony/BMG Music Epic/Legacy series. The Concerto suite would be Lynne's last dabbling in symphonic rock. The inclement weather effects heard on "Concerto" were real and recorded by Lynne during a very rainy summer in Munich 1977. Side three of the original double LP consisted of the symphonic Concerto for a Rainy Day, composed of four separate tracks which together made up a cohesive suite, instead of one continuous track. It took a further two months to record in Munich. Jeff Lynne wrote the entire album in three and a half weeks after a sudden burst of creativity while hidden away in his rented chalet in the Swiss Alps. Written and produced by ELO frontman Jeff Lynne, the double album is among the most commercially successful records in the group's history, selling about 10 million copies worldwide. About Out of the Blue is the seventh studio album by the British rock group Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), released in October 1977. ![]()
