The Moody Blues: The Magnificent Moodies

It's November 1964 and your radio station DJ says something about 'Moody Blues'.... There's a split-second's silence, then someone - who you'll soon discover is named Denny Laine - lets out the plaintive cry "We've already said..." Mike Pinder's piano block chords crash in beneath the word "goodbye", and the song called 'Go Now!' keeps you glued to the wireless. Then you rushed to your local record seller - and became one of more than a million like-minded souls who couldn't wait to own a copy of that 45rpm. For the next three years, the five lads from Birmingham attempted to emulate that success and cut these terrific tracks in the process.
