In Search Of The Lost Chord - The Moody Blues

It may seem strange to be reviewing an album that first saw the light of day nearly 40 years ago. However The Moody Blues have maintained their popularity and their loyal fan base through three generations and (down to three of the original members now) are about to embark on another UK tour. In 2003 Universal Music embarked on a project to re-master the first five of the Moody Blues albums from the original tapes using modern production techniques. They also decided to issue additional tracks – alternative takes and versions – which were not included on the final album. This is the 2006 deluxe SACD edition. DISC ONE: THE ALBUM This album was the second produced by ...

On The Threshold Of A Dream - The Moody Blues

A friend of mine has always been a fan of The Moody Blues and I do mean a FAN! He has every record and CD that they have ever made and sees them in concert at least three times each time they tour. A few years ago I happened to mention that I wouldn't mind seeing them in concert and he straight away offered to drive from London, pick me up in the Midlands, take me to see The Moody Blues in Sheffield and then bring me home. Now that's what you call a friend! Anyway that's how my love of the Moody Blues was born. At this point in my life I had been through a bad time in my personal life and I was just beginning to get some of my self-esteem back, so when ...

On The Threshold Of A Dream - The Moody Blues

I am taking you back in time over thirty years for this review - back to the days of "Tommy", flower power and the concept album. The Moody Blues produced two studio albums in 1969: this is the first and was also the last that was issued on the DERAM label. It is programme music in the sense that the tracks run one into the next without a definite end. Indeed on the original vinyl LP the final strains were recorded into the run-out track so that if the stylus was not lifted the music never ended. I well remember finding myself fast asleep in the armchair under its influence. In 2003 Universal Music embarked on a project to re-master the first five of the ...
