S/T LP (VINYL) UK BLUE SKY 1978

Product Information

Mr MacDonald said: "We're not interested in the easy listening stuff you'd find in charity shops - Englebert Humperdink and that kind of thing - but anything else is of interest and we'll try to give the best price. First of all, this blows iTunes into a oblivion. The sound breathes and you can feel it the moment the band enters. The instruments are separated perfectly for the depth and atmosphere of the album. In fact, here you can hear the truly atmosphere of the album. This pressing has wider soundstage against the iTunes and everything sounds more natural in your space. The music has the space to come out great from your speakers and I really enjoy it. All instruments sounds amazing and especially the keyboards. I got a proper designer in to create the logo, inspired by the colours on the Mr Blue Sky sleeve by ELO and the idea of 'blue sky thinking' - creating something fresh and new. This year, special albums will be re-pressed and re-released including Post Malone (The Diamond Collection), Prince (Gett Off), The Doors (Live from Bakerfield), Sia (Everyday Is Christmas) and Alesha Dixon's debut album (Fired Up). I more recently started collected all the vinyl I had as a teenager, travelling up and down the country to find the records, and fell in love with it all over again.

Selling a collection that has so many memories can be quite an emotional experience and I always treat the records with respect and love. Nothing thrills me more than restoring records to their best possible condition and sending them on their way to new homes to begin a new chapter. Records should not be stored in the loft forgotten and gathering dust. We'll be trading in used vinyl initially and I'm more than happy to drive out and look at people's collections." There's definitely a growing market for vinyl now - it outsold CDs last year for the first time since 1987 - and in the pandemic, a lot of people have looked at their lives and what's important to them. Clear Blue Sky also featured on these vinyl albums, long assigned to the record collector’s archives: The Vertigo TripAnd now he has launched Blue Sky Vinyl and will be buying and selling vintage records online - with plans for expansion in the future. We'll have to where it goes in terms of retail and eventually setting up a shop, but it's starting online. After that, Mr MacDonald went on to have a successful career in live music promotion before joining the racecourse.

After 35 years in Senior Leisure Business Roles I decided it was time to follow my number one passion for music and launch Blue Sky Vinyl. The last few years have been amazing with tens of thousands of records and CD's coming into our business where they are lovingly restored before we distribute them all across the globe.
