Maybe the best group ever to come out of Birmingham.... a Supergroup....

The Moody Blues are without doubt my all time favourite group and I have all their albums including the collections. Now I am getting the new versions with loads of alternate takes. The Blue jays and some of the individual albums made during the split up also are a part of the collection. I like Electric Avenue by John Lodge but I wished I got Kick Off Your Muddy Boots by Graeme Edge. You could say I am a fan of The Moody Blues ( I never call them The Moodies) and I would place them along side The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Great live band when on there own or with a large orchestra, Live At Red Rock is superb.

They were a supergroup so many writers in there,
just like the Beatles were a supergroup with 3 brill writers.
.. (though Justin did nt come from Birmingham.)

Oh my word, adore them.

In Search of The Lost Chord is a masterpiece, no doubt.

I don't think it's live.

I love the Moodies. The classic seven albums rate alongside anyone else's record.

Hard to choose between them, but if I had to, I'd go for To Our Children's Children's Children or Every Good Boy Deserves Favour as my favourite.

The Moody Blues went a step further and with the co-operation of orchestral arranger Peter Knight and producer Hugh Mendl, recorded an entire album of their own music in just five days with the London Festival Orchestra.
The sessions introduced the band to Tony Clarke who would go on to produce the Moodies biggest-selling albums.
Despite initial reluctance by the record company, the resulting collection of completed tracks entitled 'Days Of Future Passed', was released on the Decca subsidiary Deram label that was specialising in progressive music.

Days Of Future Passed - issued in November of 1967 - was a milestone in music, giving rise to the "concept album" and reached No. 27 in the UK and No. 3 in the USA charts thus gaining the band a foot-hold on the all-important American market.

Lets remember 1967 was the year of Sg Pepper
