This is the debut album of England's Moody Blues, featuring Denny Laine who performed with Paul McCartney and Wings in the 1970's. Here The Moody Blues exhibit a blues based British invasion style with the single "Go Now" rising to the Top 10 in 1965.
While John Lodge was a founding member, with the departure of Laine and the arrival of Justin Hayward Moody Blues became a fundamentally different musical genre. Gone were the simple elements of the earlier era, to be replaced by an artistic project incorporating mysticism, lyrical philosophy, extended melody and heavy orchestral arrangements.

This LP has been play-tested in its entirety on a Technics SLQ turntable with a new stylus.
As a record collector since the 70’s and a professional musician/teacher, sound quality is important to me. My selling policy is the Golden Rule, so I grade as accurately as I can. But if this record does not meet your expectations of quality, please feel free to return it for a full refund, and without objection I will quickly process your request covering the shipping cost.

GRADING SCALE for LPs
I do not grade a record visually. I grade based only on sound because a record may look beautiful and glossy while having surface noise in unexpected places.
M (Mint): brand new and sealed.
NM (Near Mint): Sound is perfect nearly everywhere, virtually no surface noise (possibly quietly between some tracks).
EX (Excellent): Sound is mostly perfect but with minor noise usually brief in some quieter passages or between tracks.
VG+ (Very Good Plus): Surface noise with more frequency yet does not distract from enjoying the record.
VG (Very Good): Surface noise throughout, but with no skips and does not overpower the music.
I do not list a record for sale graded less than VG unless it is suitable only for display.
Thank you for visiting.
