Sealed 1970 US Gatefold Original. Hole Punch Top Right Corner. "The Moody Blues' First Real Attempt At A Harder Rock Sound Still Has Some Psychedelic Elements, But They're Achieved With An Overall Leaner Studio Sound. The Group Was Trying To Take Stock Of Itself At This Time, And Came Up With Some Surprisingly Strong, Lean Numbers (Michael Pinder's Mellotron Is Surprisingly Restrained Until The Final Number, "The Balance"), Which Also Embraced Politics For The First Time ("Question" Seemed To Display The Dislocation That A Lot Of Younger Listeners Were Feeling During Vietnam). The Surprisingly Jagged Opening Track, "Question," Recorded Several Months Earlier, Became A Popular Concert Number As Well As A Number Two (Or Number One, Depending Upon Whose Chart One Looks At) Single. Graeme Edge's "Don't You Feel Small" And Justin Hayward's "It's Up To You" Both Had A Great Beat, But The Real Highlight Here Is John Lodge's "Tortoise And The Hare," A Fast-paced Number That The Band Used To Rip Through In Concert With Some Searing Guitar Solos By Hayward. Ray Thomas' "And The Tide Rushes In" (Written In The Wake Of A Fight With His Wife) Is One Of The Prettiest Psychedelic Songs Ever Written, A Sweetly Languid Piece With Some Gorgeous Shimmering Instrumental Effects. The 1997 Remastered Edition Brings Out The Guitar Sound With Amazing Force And Clarity, And The Notes Tell A Lot About The Turmoil The Band Was Starting To Feel After Three Years Of Whirlwind Success. The Only Loss Is The Absence Of The Lyrics Included In Earlier Editions." AMG - Bruce Eder. more

Used - LP - DES 18012
1967 Stereo (Brown And White Label) Hype Sticker on Shrink With Original Inner Sleeve. The Moody Blues' "Days of Future Passed" is a groundbreaking album that ushered in a new era of progressive rock. Released in 1967, it was a concept album that fused classical orchestration with rock music, creating a unique and innovative sound. The album's narrative follows the progression of a day, from morning to night, and the music reflects the changing moods and emotions of each moment. The album's standout tracks include the haunting "Nights in White Satin," the trippy "Tuesday Afternoon". The use of the London Festival Orchestra adds depth and richness to the music, creating a lush and immersive listening experience. "Days of Future Passed" is a timeless classic that continues to inspire and influence musicians today. Its innovative fusion of rock and classical music was ahead of its time and has paved the way for countless artists to experiment with sound and genre. It is a must-listen for any music lover and a testament to the enduring creativity of the Moody Blues. more

Every Good Boy Deserves Favour
Used - LP - THS 5
1971 Heavy Vinyl, Textured Gatefold Original. The Moody Blues' album "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour" is a masterful blend of orchestral rock and prog rock. The album features a range of moods and styles, from the soaring melodies of "Procession" and "The Story in Your Eyes" to the reflective introspection of "Emily's Song" and "My Song". The album's centerpiece, the seven-part suite "The Journey", is a stunning display of the band's musical prowess, with complex arrangements and intricate instrumentation that showcase the band's ability to weave together different musical styles and influences. The Moody Blues' lyrics also shine on this album, with themes ranging from the personal to the political, exploring the human experience with a depth and nuance that is both poetic and profound. The result is an album that is both musically and lyrically rich, a testament to the Moody Blues' enduring legacy as one of the most influential bands of the progressive rock era. more
Every Good Boy Deserves Favour
Used Import - K18P-36
Clean 1981 Japanese reissue with Obi & insert. Part of the Japanese "Moody Blues Original Collection" series. "The best-realized of their classic albums, Every Good Boy Deserves Favour was also the last of the group's albums for almost a decade to be done under reasonably happy and satisfying circumstances -- for the last time with this lineup, they went into the studio with a reasonably full song bag and a lot of ambition and brought both as far as time would allow, across close to four months (interrupted by a tour of the United States right in the middle). Virtually everywhere you listen on this record, the lush melodies and the sound of Michael Pinder's Mellotron (augmented here by the Moog synthesizer and a brace of other instruments) just sweep over the music, and where they don't, Justin Hayward's guitar pyrotechnics on pieces like "The Story in Your Eyes" elevate the hard rocking side of the music, in tandem with John Lodge's muscular bass work -- which still leaves plenty of room for a cello here, and a grand piano there, on top of Ray Thomas' flute, and Graeme Edge's ever more ambitious percussion. "Emily's Song." "Nice to Be Here," and "My Song" are among the best work the group ever did, and "The Story in Your Eyes" is the best rock number they ever cut, with a bracing beat and the kind of lyrical complexity one more expected out of George Harrison at the time. Sad to say, the group would never be this happy with an album again -- at least not for a lot of years -- or with their commitment to being a group, though they would leave one more highly worthwhile album before taking a hiatus for most of the rest of the 1970s."

They Dumped The Orchestra This Time Out In Favor Of Mike Pinder's Mellotron, Which Was A More Than Adequate Substitute, And The Rest Of The Band Joined In With Flutes, Sitar, Tablas, And Cellos, The Playing Of Which Was Mostly Learned On The Spot.

"In Search of the Lost Chord is the album on which the Moody Blues discovered drugs and mysticism as a basis for songwriting and came up with a compelling psychedelic creation, filled with songs about Timothy Leary and the astral plane and other psychedelic-era concerns. They dumped the orchestra this time out in favor of Mike Pinder's Mellotron, which was a more than adequate substitute, and the rest of the band joined in with flutes, sitar, tablas, and cellos, the playing of which was mostly learned on the spot. The whole album was one big experiment to see how far the group could go with any instruments they could find, thus making this album a rather close cousin to the Beatles' records of the same era."

"The Moody Blues' resumed work together after a four-year hiatus and delivered Octave in 1978, which quickly became a hit but has also proved to be a very problematic album. Picking up where he left off on Seventh Sojourn, bassist/singer John Lodge generated a hit single (and also a solid album opener) with the surprisingly edgy (for this band) rocker "Steppin' in a Slide Zone." And Justin Hayward's "Had to Fall in Love," "Driftwood," and "The Day We Meet Again" -- the latter their best album closer since "Watching and Waiting" -- are also up to the standard one would wish for (and a bit of a surprise, coming in the wake of two major solo projects that should have depleted his song bag). Additionally, Graeme Edge's "I'll Be Level with You" gives the album some harder rocking moments, but that's not the real reason for buying Moody Blues records; rather, it's the sweep, the overall body of music and vision, psychedelic and romantic, punched up with some solid rock moments, and it's this larger arc of the music that is missing here. Ray Thomas' two songs are lackluster compared with his earlier work; and Mike Pinder's "One Step Into the Light" is so limited in its scope, compared to his earlier album-defining mystical explorations, that he's barely a presence on the album (and he did quit the band in the course of completing this record). As well as not quite offering an album's worth of good songs, the whole album lacks the depth and scope of preceding releases; 1978 would have been a little late for an album steeped in psychedelia, but the MBs didn't quite have anything to replace the latter element in the mix. Octave has its moments, and even a few very good ones -- and two great ones, on "Steppin' in a Slide Zone" and the place where the chorus comes in on "The Day We Meet Again" -- but they're not supported by enough that's worthwhile."

On The Threshold Of A Dream
Audiophile - Used - NR 21
1981 Limited edition, audiophile half-speed remaster from Nautilius. Housed in a gatefold cover with 4 page lyrics insert. "On the Threshold of a Dream was the first album that the Moody Blues had a chance to record and prepare in a situation of relative calm, without juggling tour schedules and stealing time in the studio between gigs -- indeed, it was a product of what were almost ideal circumstances, though it might not have seemed that way to some observers. The Moodies had mostly exhausted the best parts of the song bag from which their two preceding albums, Days of Future Passed and In Search of the Lost Chord, had been drawn, and as it turned out, even the leftover tracks from those sessions wouldn't pass muster for their next long-player project -- but those albums had both been hits, and charted well in America as well as England, and had overlapped with a pair of hit singles, "Nights in White Satin" and "Tuesday Afternoon," on both sides of the Atlantic. Their success had earned them enough consideration from Decca Records that they could work at their leisure in the studio through all of January and most of February of 1969; what's more, with two LPs under their belt, they now had a much better idea of what they could accomplish in the studio, and write songs with that capability in mind. Equally important, they'd just come off of an extensive U.S. tour (opening for Cream) and had learned a lot in the course of concertizing over the previous year, achieving a much bolder yet tighter sound instrumentally as well as vocally, and they could now write to and for that sound as well. So this album is oozing with bright, splashy creative flourishes in two seemingly contradictory directions that somehow come together as a valid whole. On the original LP's first side (which was the more rock-oriented side), the songs "Lovely to See You," "Send Me No Wine," "To Share Our Love," and "So Deep Within You" all featured killer guitar hooks (electric and acoustic) and fills by Justin Hayward; beautiful, muscular bass from John Lodge; and vocal hooks everywhere. It's also a surprisingly hard-rocking album considering the amount of overdubbing that went into perfecting the songs, including cellos, wind and reed instruments, and lots of vocal layers -- yet it even found room to display a pop-soul edge on "So Deep Within You" (a number that the Four Tops later recorded)."

On The Threshold Of A Dream
Audiophile - Used - MFSL 1-215
1995 Limited Edition, Half-Speed Mastered 200gm HQ Anadisc, Housed In A Deluxe Gatefold Cover. Number 1980. Corner ding. "On the Threshold of a Dream" is the fourth studio album by the British rock band The Moody Blues, released in April 1969. This album marks a significant development in the band's musical journey, showcasing their blend of progressive rock with orchestral elements. It is known for its innovative use of the Mellotron, a keyboard instrument that emulates orchestral sounds, which became a signature aspect of their style. The album explores themes of dreams, reality, and consciousness, inviting listeners to embark on a conceptual journey. The tracks seamlessly transition into one another, creating a cohesive listening experience that was pioneering for its time. The album opens with the spoken-word piece "In the Beginning," setting the stage for a series of songs that delve into introspection and existential musings. Among its standout tracks are "Lovely to See You," known for its upbeat tempo and catchy melody, and "Never Comes the Day," which features a more acoustic, folk-inspired sound. The closing suites, "The Dream" and "Have You Heard (Parts 1 & 2)," encapsulate the album's thematic ambition, culminating in an orchestral crescendo. "On the Threshold of a Dream" received critical acclaim upon its release, praised for its lyrical depth and sophisticated production, and remains a seminal work in the Moody Blues' discography. more

Sur La Mer
Used Import - 835 756-1
1988 Canadian original; club pressing. Glossy, NM- vinyl and jacket! Tiny corner bump. Top Copy! "Though this 1988 recording starts out with a song that rightfully stands with their best work, the rest of the album doesn't live up to that high standard. "I Know You're out There Somewhere" (a thematic extension of the 1986 hit "Your Wildest Dreams") is lyrically and musically superior in all aspects; fine textured keyboards from Patrick Moraz are featured in the middle of the song. However, the rest of the album is mostly inconsequential material that simply doesn't grab the listener. Part of the problem lies in the fact that Justin Hayward and John Lodge wrote all of the material. Ray Thomas is totally absent, and while he contributed less songs in the 1980s, his absence is sorely missed, especially in the vocal harmonies. Thomas' songs often bring a more whimsical point of view, which certainly would have helped diversify the mood of this release. Also, there is a "techno" feel to many of the arrangements, bringing a "manufactured" feel to the proceedings. In all fairness, none of the songs are total failures, and Sur La Mer is a bit more consistent overall than the Moodies last effort, The Other Side of Life. "Vintage Wine" is a catchy, if slight, look back at the '60s. "Deep" is as overtly sexual as any piece in the Moody Blues songbook. "Breaking Point" is much darker than most material in the group's catalog, as it looks at someone who is seemingly at the brink of losing sanity. Though the Moody Blues have been unjustly criticized over their career for being pompous or bombastic, their unique gift to the world of popular music is as archetypal art-rockers who sincerely write of the quest for finding meaning in life. Unfortunately, on Sur La Mer, most of the songs are of the light and laid-back variety; the group could have used more bombast and self-importance." All Music Guide - Michael Ofjord more

The Other Side Of Life
Used - LP - 829 179-1 Y-1
1986 original complete with the original custom printed inner sleeve. VG++ vinyl. Gold promo stamp on back. "The Moody Blues' best album in five years benefited mostly from the presence of the Top Ten single "Your Wildest Dreams," authored by Justin Hayward, which turned their status as survivors from the '60s psychedelic era into a plus, with a great beat to boot; it also debuted with a very entertaining video featuring young British psychedelic rockers the Mood Six playing the young Moody Blues to promote the song on the newly dominant MTV and rival video outlets. Unfortunately, nothing else that Hayward or anyone else turned in for this album was remotely as catchy, and, in fact, much of the rest of the album -- apart from the closer, John Lodge's "It May Be a Fire," which recalls his and Hayward's collaboration on the Blue Jays album -- shows signs of a group running on empty creatively. Ray Thomas is totally absent as a songwriter, and Graeme Edge and Patrick Moraz between them offer one lackluster song. Lodge and Hayward together furnish a pair of serviceable if not dazzling rockers, "Talkin' Talkin'" and "Slings and Arrows," the latter benefiting from a great beat, chorus, and vocal arrangement more than anything in the lyrics, but their "Running Out of Love" is a terrible song with a great chorus; and Lodge's "Rock 'n' Roll Over You" ultimately runs about a minute too long for its own good, and mostly succeeds in recalling older (and better) hard rock numbers by him, such as "Gemini Dream" and "Stepping in a Slide Zone." And Hayward's title track is more lugubrious than lyrical. The album, thanks to the video and the single, was good enough to tour off of, and help pull in the group's most enthusiastic audiences in a half-decade, but this would end up being much more the high-water mark commercially for their post-'70s work than a fresh start."

Used Import - L25P 1156
1983 Japanese gatefold pressing with Obi & insert. "ELO fans who found in Long Distance Voyager a new Discovery can be excused for thinking there's no Time like The Present. Just as ELO's follow-up to the sweeping Discovery seemed tame by comparison, so The Present failed to match the grandiose arrangements of the Moodies' previous record. It's still a solid effort, bolstered by strong songwriting and pleasant melodies, but as good as the opening "Blue World" is, its downbeat message is no substitute for the clarion call of "The Voice." The Present seems to make a conscious effort to scale back the arena-size sound of their previous album, returning to the warmly rendered ballads of old. Patrick Moraz, whose keyboards were a revelation on Long Distance Voyager, plays a diminished role here, as Justin Hayward's guitar takes more of the lead, suggesting a poor man's Phil Manzanera or David Gilmour. While it charted well and provided hit singles in "Blue World" and "Sitting at the Wheel" (again, it's John Lodge who provides the most invigorating track), The Present is a gift that listeners will need to warm up to over time. Only after several sittings do Hayward's lush ballads like "Meet Me Halfway" and "Running Water" sink in. Following the format of their last effort, the closing tracks are given to Ray Thomas, who once more proves a compelling presence (he's also the only good thing about "Going Nowhere"). "I Am" and "Sorry" amount to little more than love songs, but Thomas' sense for dramatic arrangements manages to elevate the musical discussion. Given the now infrequent release of new albums by the Moody Blues, more could have been expected from The Present, but less could have been achieved (as the disappointing Keys of the Kingdom demonstrated). If it's merely average by Moodies standards, at least The Present didn't bode ill for the future." All Music Guide - Dave Connolly. more

This Is The Moody Blues
New - LP - 2 THS 12/13
Factory Sealed, 1974 2LP Gatefold Original Which Includes The Previously Unreleased "Simple Game." Unable To Confirm Exact Press. "It Might Surprise Those Coming In Late To Their Story That The Original Double-lp Version Of This Album From 1974 Was The First Compilation Devoted To The Moody Blues' Work. That's Seven Years After Their Switch From R&b-based British Invasion Rock & Roll To Psychedelic Music, And Ten Years Into Their Overall History, An Awfully Long Time For A Successful Band To Avoid The Compilation Route. That Fact Alone Speaks Volumes For How Healthy Their Album Sales Were -- Only The Group's Decision To Take A Hiatus Seems To Have Prompted The Assembling Of This Collection. The Moody Blues Had Actually Had Enough Hits And Charting Singles Between England And America Since 1967 So That A Good Best-of Could Have Been Assembled, But The Makers Went Far Beyond That, Encompassing Lp Tracks That Had Become Favorites On Fm Radio Between 1967 And 1973 And Also Ignoring The Actual Release Order Of Anything Here. So Instead Of A Tour Through Their History, Listeners Get A Kind Of Collage Of Most Of Their Best Work, The Songs Nicely Representative Of The Various Members' Most Important Contributions To The Group's Work. That Said, However, It Should Also Be Pointed Out That So Much Of The Band's Music Is Connected, Conceptually And Thematically, With The Surrounding Songs On Their Albums That Inevitably The Listener Will Feel Rushed Through Some Of This History; Additionally, There Is One Excellent Number Left Off For Every Three That Are Included."
