The Moody Blues

Just listened to their 1st Lp from 1965 still sounds fresh i bought it off ebay 3 weeks back.

Is "Go now" from the first LP? One of my all time faves I must say. Better than all that "Prog Rock" tosh they turned out later on!!

Yep Go Now is on it ;Recall that on a reel to reel tape back in 65 too

[Mysteryman]

Great music - timeless

Excellent LP. Funnily enough I have just re-bought it along with a Spencer Davis Group LP of the same vintage. They have reminded me of what a great scene the London R&B club circuit was in the early sixties.

The Moodies debut album is a supreme slice of mid-60's R&B, a real gem.

However I rate their 67-72 output as well, though like many bands their celebrated longevity is meaningless in relation to their output since the mid-70's, which has produced the odd decent track and loads of slop that doesn't make the grade qualiy-wise.
Mystic Mike Pinder had the right idea, he retired from the group shortly after recording their 1978 'come-back' album

The B side of Nights In White Satin track called Cities was just as good and the stuff they did just before you hardly hear Fly Me High,Love And Beauty .
