I remember must have been Jan/Feb '65. I bought or was bought for me (pre paper round!) Go Now! & You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling. Think I was eleven.

Denny Laine's voice and then Bobby & Bill's voices were a door to another world.

@Brian - I remember the first time I heard Go Now on an oldies station as a kid and had a hard time reconciling it with the Moody Blues I knew

Hello, Larry, and moody testifiers, love this Bessie Banks!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:07pm

Larry, still does.
It was not until I listened to FMU that I realised how big the Moodies were in America.

@Brian - Their post-67 stuff was huge on FM radio, but I was surprised to discover how many of their early 45s charted in regional pockets all over the US

Larry, s'funny how many R'nB bands over here suddenly grew their hair & became psychedlic. You could almost carbon date it!

Hi Testifiers! Sorry for the late entry.

Grogan in a mosh pit?

Oh YES
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:17pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Erica! WR!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:17pm
Funky16Corners:

@WR - Oh yeah, but of course this was a much younger Grogan, in his 20s and full of what the old folks used to call "piss and vinegar"

Late to the party, but hello from Wisconsin!

Larry, pedants corner, the Moodies added a ! to Go Now!

@Brian at 3:12 - Oh yeah, and in the UK so many of them were brilliant!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:21pm

@Brian - You're right! I never noticed.

This pre-Moodys Justin Hayward
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:33pm
Brian in UK:

So many albums in 64/65 included singles plus a few token others thrown in. Guess the Beatles led the way with original album tracks (& some singles) but only starting with Hard Days Night.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:34pm
Funky16Corners:

I think the non-lp singles that form the bridge between Moodys Mk1 and II are evidence that maybe the band wasn't on their way to a second album
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:35pm
Funky16Corners:

Which is too bad because their originals, mostly Laine/Pinder songs were great
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:41pm
KevinfromBayRidge:

Thanks for the Magnificence today, Larry!

Nice to have Julie back, even if as a fill-in.

I only vaguely remember the Ahh-Laine album.
Avatar 3:49pm
Erica:

Early Justin Hayward solo songs are quite good. The only Justin solo song I know of is Forever Autumn.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:49pm
Funky16Corners:

Justin was the whole package. Great singer, songwriter and an excellent guitarist
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:50pm

Tony Clark was the sixth Moody?

Vincent The Soul Chef:

I'd still give my right arm to find a mono copy of this record...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:51pm
Funky16Corners:

Clarke produced some great UK freakbeat and psyche 45s by Pinkerton's Assorted Colours and the St Louis Union
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:52pm
Brian in UK:

Ah Pinkertons, autoharp rules.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:52pm
Funky16Corners:

Holy shit! He produced 'My Father's Name Is Dad' by Fire!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:55pm
Phillippe Bastille:

One of my all time favorite tunes...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:55pm
Funky16Corners:

Oddly enough, THIS was their first big hit in the US in this incarnation
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:55pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Phillippe!

Phillippe Bastille:

Looks like I got zoomed out of a nice show
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:57pm
Funky16Corners:

You can always catch it in the archive
Avatar 3:59pm
Erica:

Gotta love that orchestral score though. Very pretty.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:59pm
Brian in UK:

I think that the best way to listen to archive is not to look at the playlist. Then it is almost live.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:00pm
Funky16Corners:

That's a good idea
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:02pm
KevinfromBayRidge:

Fond memories of copying my cousin's DoFP album onto reel to reel. I was a naughty lil 14 year old copyright thief!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:03pm

Remember when home taping was killing music? I don't think it worked.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:04pm

Had to look this up, Days of Future Passed was released the week after Forever Changes release. It was a long time ago.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:04pm
Funky16Corners:

Great week!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:05pm
KevinfromBayRidge:

Yeah, don't think the RtoRs made a big impact!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:05pm
Jeff Ash:

Hearing this, it is late at night in the early '70s with the local free-form radio playing in my bedroom.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:05pm

Hey Jeff!

I was listening to my uncle's waterlogged record after he had dismissed it as trash... I cleaned it up, and it undoubtedly changed my life...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:07pm
Funky16Corners:

@Kevin - Right?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:07pm
Funky16Corners:

I don't remember if this was the first full length Moodys LP I heard or Question...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:08pm

Here it comes...stoned teenage me knew it by heart

Very happy that I've seen them 4 times, although not in their "prime"
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:13pm

They're still great! They sounded fantastic on the PBS special they did

It's 1968 again.

Agreed. Just the time 1990s-2018

Never saw them with Pinder but Thomas was in the earlier shows that I saw.

I never got to see them in person.

Funky16Corners:

I remember trying to play this in an early band and the guitarist could not hack it
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:37pm
KevinfromBayRidge:

Boys knew how to use a Mellotron and stereo separation!
