I like to see what your thoughts are about it, as in what could be an ideal track listing for a hypothetical single LP of Out of the Blue. would you be willing to leave out certain songs or have them edited?! (such sacrilege!)

Haha think we know what song Helmut83 would leave out! Well my favourites off the album are: It's Over, Across the Border, Jungle, Steppin' Out, Standin' in the The Rain, Sweet Talkin' Woman, Summer and Lightening and Wild West Hero

For the album slags a bit once the concerto ends bar Wild West Hero. maybe side 1 be a mixture of the double LP's first disc then the second side be the concerto plus WWH (the incessant synth noodling on 'The Whale' still haunts me)

I listen to it cut up. Songs in order. Some of the songs I will not listen to are: It's Over, Jungle, Steppin Out (I love this song, just not this) Standin In Rain, Big Wheels, The Whale. Took me a while for Mr Blue Sky and WWH.

Took me a while for Mr Blue Sky and WWH. I'm very disappointed in you. Anyway, I wouldn't be able to cut OOTB to a single LP. I love all the album's tracks, and I couldn't cut any of them!

I listen to the whole album... it's a nice long listen with with many amazing tracks and a few weaker ones but I love it so much as is.
That being said, if I was forced to create a single LP it would be:
"Night in the City" – 4:02 "Starlight" – 4:30 "Jungle" – 3:51 "Steppin' Out" – 4:38 "Sweet Is the Night" – 3:26
"Standin' in the Rain" – 4:20 "Big Wheels" – 5:10 "Summer and Lightning" – 4:13 "Mr. Blue Sky" – 5:05
It would be pretty awesome!

I'd give up Jungle but would struggle to remove anything else. Concerto For a Rainy Day is the stand-out must-have collection but neither could I do without Believe Me Now, which still gives me goosebumps after all these years...

This is tough but the way I listen to OOTB these days just about cuts it down to a single album. I would leave out It's Over, Starlight, Jungle, Summer and Lightning, Mr. Blue Sky, The Whale, Night in the City, and.....it's tough to decide on one more song but....Birmingham Blues.

On an earlier post I said that OOTB as a single album for me would look awfully like an ELO Greatest Hits collection.
Side One Turn to Stone It's Over Sweet Is the Night Steppin' Out Wild West Hero
Side Two Standin' In The Rain Sweet Talkin' Woman Jungle (some people could live without it, but you've got to have something fun on an album) Big Wheels Mr. Blue Sky
I still stand by these choices.

I enjoy most of the OOTB songs, but for a single album, I would choose these same songs, except I would substitute Birmingham Blues for Jungle.

I would encourage all ELO newcomers to listen to the whole album, of course. But if I were to create a shorter version to tease those still doubting... it would be like this.
Turn To Stone It's Over Sweet Talking Woman Night In The City Starlight
Steppin' Out Big Wheels Mr. Blue Sky Sweet Is The Night Wild West Hero
(Pretty boring obvious choices, perhaps...)
