Blasting Off is the fifth and final studio album by British rock band Red Lorry Yellow Lorry.[3] It was released on the Sparkhead independent record label in 1991.[4] The band at this point consisted of Chris Reed and a completely new assortment of musicians. They recorded the LP in a Los Angeles studio. Reed broke up the band soon after.
