The Moody Blues released their fifth album "To Our Children's Children's Children" in November 1969 on Threshold Records. The album didn't yield any hit singles but as a whole it is filled with fan favorites and made it to No. 2 in the U.K. and No. 14 in the U.S. 
This copy (THS 1) is from the first pressing and is in good condition considering it's over 50-years-old. The gatefold cover is intact but does have some ring and edge wear and a small slit on the bottom so I grade it VG. Please see the pictures. The disc test plays cleanly and I rate it VG+ which is as high as I go on vintage vinyl. This record was mastered by Guy Fletcher at Decca Studios in London and was pressed by Monarch Record Mfg. Co. in Los Angeles. The dead wax on Side 1 is etched with XZAL 9281-P (MR) Δ143.56.
In addition to its original packaging, this album will come with a high quality Anti-Static Round Bottom Inner Sleeve to hold the vinyl disc and a sturdy 3 mil. polyethylene Archival Quality Outer Sleeve.
Free shipping is included in the special corrugated album mailer seen in the last picture.
This vintage 12" vinyl album has been sitting upright on a shelf in climate controlled storage for the past 51 years. It has not been played in decades other than a quick test spin for this sale which found no skips or obvious flaws. Like all used records it should be cleaned and wiped with an anti-static brush to minimize the occasional pops that are part of playing vinyl albums. Buyers should note that this is a well-cared for but used record and it will have some minor imperfections.
