Here’s a very yellow ad for a very fine song, Electric Light Orchestra’s “Turn To Stone.” Written and produced by Jeff Lynne, “Turn To Stone” is the lead-off song and was the lead-off single for the Out Of The Blue LP in the fall of ’77. The song grabbed #13 on the US Hot 100 and #18 in the UK.
The above ad appeared in the November 19, 1977 edition of Record World. Let’s watch and listen to this magnificently-crafted slice of pop below.
