Moody Bluer since mid-seventies, knew all their songs by heart. Made me a better person inside, not perfect, but better.

Their music takes you to the other side and back in the comfort of your armchair.

It's criminal that Mike Pinder went to do Narrating albums. He was one of the most beautiful Singing voices in the world. Oh well, at least he did leave us a dozen or so absolute masterpieces for our own delight. So, forever thank you!

I am an Astro photographer. I take pictures of the night sky. The Milky Way and all the deep dark and light objects of the night sky are my canvas. The Moody Blues are my inspiration.

Was turned on to the Moodies in '70 with my first smoke... HEAVEN!!

Listened to moody blues growing up..classic..timeless.🌸

Every now and then I come across a compilation like this that includes some material I had never heard before, and it is all good. The Moodies are my all time favorite band. So very glad Justin and John found their way to become members. I can not imagine what other music would have captured my attention if not for the Moody Blues. Saw them live some twenty five or so times from 1978 to the final residence at Las Vegas in 2018. Still see Justin and John solo when they are nearby. Met John at show in Hartford CT in early 2020. R.I.P. Ray and Graeme.

Another fabulous recording by the Moody Blues. We were lucky to be alive to hear them. I became a fan in 1972. I love their orchestra backup.

I think a lot of the Moody’s songs are very fitting to be used in motion picture soundtracks - they have a very emotional quality to them that would grab you even more in the right movie scene. In addition to that, their music would be introduced to younger audiences.

"The Seed" and "The Promise" are from Mike Pinder's solo album "The Promise."

When I first saw this, I thought it was an album of theirs I hadn't heard of. I thought I knew them all. Then I read more comments, and I was like- oh...

From Mike pinders solo album the promise. Then Justin Hayward and John Lodge Blue Jay's..all superior music that no others could ever match. They we're one in a life time. Glad it was mine. What a blessing. The Moody Blues.. .Forever.

There are so many Moody Blues songs that are so underrated. This is one of those. It fantastic 😊❤️🎶❤️🎶

Brought up on the Moody's, and I still love their unique sound. Used to lie on the floor with side 2 of Threshold of a dream playing over and over on the radiogram, awesome album! Big thanks to my older sister for introducing me to them.

Glad you included 'Who Are You Now?" from the Bluejays album. The song is one of my favorites. I sang it to my children as a lullaby.

A nice compilation. 50 years ago many of us owned 3 head reel to reel tape decks and made custom albums. I'm glad to see some folks still are. I'm listening to your "album" at 3:30 am, and vaping a little kind bud...it's working for me. ;))

Thank the Creator I grew up in the 70s. We had the best music.

........ ANOTHER LONG LOST GEM OF BEAUTIFUL MUSIC.........!!!!!!!!!!

This music unfolds like a picture book full of stars, where birds come spinning, spinning farandoles, cracking rattles and dancing wizards. From rounds to nursery rhymes, the arrangements display their mystery, the songs fill with fervor and the instruments have the roundness and brilliance of chimes 🌿🎋🍃

This is for those who wish to keep track. "The Seed" (M. Pinder) - 0:00 "This Morning" (J. Hayward) - 1:18 "Within Your Eyes" (R. Thomas) - 7:12 "Summer Breeze" (J. Lodge) - 10:53 "Blue Guitar" (J. Hayward) - 16:02 "Who Are You Now" (J. Hayward) - 19:37 "Carry On" (M. Pinder) - 22:09 "Who Could Change" (J. Lodge) - 26:15 "Friends" (R. Thomas) - 32:04 "Nights Winters Years" (J. Hayward) - 34:53 "The Promise" (M. Pinder) - 38:28

unbelieving lovely job, congrats , you caught the essence and brought it back to us.......grateful for you for life ,.

One of my favorite group of all time. I own their full discography. Even the solo album of John and Justin. It's a shame That they disbanded. But today i see Justin live solo's concert and John play and sing with the new YES...

Don't care about how you came up with this, IT'S GREAT. Being a Roger Dean devotee, noticed cover immediately. Love the whole concept. Nice effort to have a flow in song's transitions. You really worked to get this together, and it flows wonderfully. Good man. Bless each and everyone connected to this, and keep that CAB (crazy a__ed bit__) from bothering anyone or anything to do with this effort. Let her find the Creator and the end of the world elsewhere, with her bizarre comments. This was and is nice.

Love it, wish they would record more original songs together. But this is close. :-)

Yet another gem I missed in my haste to become what I am today....

Dispensa qualquer comentário😄😃😋🎼🎼🎼🎼🎵🎵🎶🎶 vou só curtir mais uma obra-prima dessa banda maravilhosa. ETERNAMENTE ROCK IN ROLL GALERA!!!!!!!!

Excellent compilation! thank you for make me traveling on time.

beautiful Moodys.

wow that's a great compilation, I love all the pieces you choosed.

I like your choices of tracks on this fantasy album. I have been privileged to see the Moodies 8 times live. They have a wonderful catalogue of songs that I have taken joy and comfort from since my teens, and I am 68 now

I love the Beatles and Grateful Dead, but the MBs are such an important part of my life. I liked them so much growing-up but listening to them now I realize how unique, deep and meaningful they are. So relevant to this crazy world we live in. I miss all five of them being together. Thanks for this nice compilation. I tried to see on their website if there was a fan club chat, but couldn’t really find. Does anyone know of one to connect to?

How did I miss this album? Some of the songs were on Justin and John's album, the Bue Jay's. Awesome

Thanks an A for the hard work and effort!! There is a similar composition out there by another but he called it a new WORK...and was slapped around by those who must belittle rather than praise

I heard a similar What If post Beatles album some fan did years ago, called the Black Album It certainly bends our preconceptions of these commercially successful musicians!

A nice compilation. I have some of the solo albums from that time, and this has reminded that I ought to dig them out. It's also made me think about having another look at the solo albums I didn't bother with at the time, particularly Natural Avenue (hey I didn't have much disposable income aka 'pocket money' at the time). I had to laugh at some of the comments telling the poster not to meddle in Moodies music. He/she puts 'fantasy LP' in the title. The link popped up after I'd been listening to "Children's Children". If others have followed this same path it might have provided an introduction for them (rather than the reminder I got). Nice one, "beatcrazy180"!

Great compilation. Good Job!!!✌️🙏

Then were/are really the magnificent Moodies, which this collection shows, a mix of single members, both those alive and those who has taken the step into the light ❤

Fantastic fantasy compilation! I love it! Thank you for this!

the "blue jays" album, i love---so much good emotions and melody---WORDS!----also bought the Ray Thomas --deep beautiful voice---i am not familiar with Pinder, so will listen now to "the promise"

This Morning's pianist is fabulous! Best song..Blue Jays.

Such a great idea and man, does it work. Beautiful!❤

Very well done, finally,hall of fame 2018,maga

I used to listen to all kinds of music! & still do. If U cease to learn, U cease to live!!!🤔😎

Been a fan since the Denny Laine and Go Now times....sadly only Justin and John left now....

Great album ❤❤❤

Rip Ray Thomas

Nights Winters Years is emotionally overwhelming.

Always great music (: !

Only group I had complete collection of. Unfortunately lost the LP's and the cassettes in a flood. Was very happy to find the Moody's on KZfaq wish I could find CD's of their original LP's

Awesome!!! I Love this.

Thank you very much, good work!

Love this compilation thankyou

Ok it all makes sense now. NICE WORK!

FOREVER Moody Blues Justin Hayword the angel voice 👍

Good thing ... listen 2 older 1s. They r more fitting the time now then ever ... love is the way ...

A Pinder Lodge Hayward rejoining and recording together would be pretty incredible. Maybe?

It's a wonderful concept thoughtfully and creatively arranged and complied. You are far too modest about what you've created. I love it, it's gorgeous, it's magical. Well done friend.

Gee thanks :( some of us already have flashbacks and deja vus and memory problems from the stuff we took listening to this this the first first time, BUT at least now when the V.A. makes me see a therapist I WiLL HAVE proof and I can just play this :) "Peace Takes Practice" thanks. Rick

great music from the best

Beatcrazy: great effort!

What a great thought exercise. Is there anyone who wouldn't wish this were an album on their shelf? How did it take this 5 years to appear in a Moody Blues search (came up in a mike Pinder search)? I was introduced to the Moodies in 1972 and been listening faithfully ever since. 'Blue Guitar' sums up so much about this band for me. Nice album art too! I think what you've done here is restore the balance of the whole that is sometimes lost on the individual (solo) efforts. I'm ordering this on Discogs!

Very nice. I wish the people who are criticizing you about your cover and "album" name choices would chill. I do a lot of volunteer work running singalong groups and such. I'll suggest to them what I'm sometimes forced to say to people who criticize my choice of songs or how I play them -- if you can do it better, nobody's stopping you. Be thankful someone went took the time and effort to organize this music.

i havent listened to this yet but it seems reverential to the sound so far. I'm with it

I support your idea Beatcrazy. I did the same by inventing a band called Goddess some years ago. Their "discography" consisted of Crimson, Genesis, Yes, Caravan, Van der Graaf, crazy!

This was the album cover from John Lodge’s Natural Avenue.

Songs like these bring me home This world takes me places I don't want to travel but I'm forced by the devils working constantly on my spirit BUT... JEHOVAH ALSO KNOWS HIS child will fight to the END TO ENDURE IT

Promises are meant to be broken...empty promises 🙏

.... at fist glance Ithought I as listening to a YES album .... ´cause the sleeve design ..... by master ROGER DEAN ....

This is excellent. Thanks!

I had all this in Highschool on album 1972&73 &74!

Amazing indeed...

wow! simply wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great work.

love it!

Had all the albums. This is great. Natural Avenue...whew.

Promises are to be kept God cannot LIE I'll follow his ways best I can I'm disappointed in myself at times

I get it that you are a big fan of Mike Pinder, so the tracks included here make total sense. I like the opening track for sure. Mike has great themes but Justin's melodies and lyrics are a slight step above. Together they were the defacto Lennon (Pinder) and McCartney (Hayward) of the MB.

Excelente y buenísimo

It was the "on The Threshold of a Dream" album cover that got us started. It was the music that kept us going. (I prefer the older songs.)

beatcrazy180 - This is much, much better than your other attempt at a mid-70s fantasy album (Children of the Ever-Guiding Light). I agree with many of your choices on this one. Thank you for your efforts.

Great work. Almost should be a Moodies album. Missing Grahame Edge though. Maybe something from Kick off your Muddy Boots? But really great.

Superb

Really good!

Must have been hard at work when this came out, Time to catch up ...

19.38...magnifique !..

Stand tall honest and go with the flow I'm tossed tumbled and without fear knowing that I'll contend with the results as Jesus said let gods will be done not mine to make it easy on your spirit let it Be

Excellent!

I recall the 3 major news networks each covering the abandonment of their follow up Lp recording project to Seventh Sojourn (as Tony Clarke halted any further efforts on his part) with reportedly tracks in various stages of completion destroyed. I’ve always wondered if any of those compositions had resurfaced later as solo material. Guess we’ll never know.

Bästa❤ moody blues

I love the Moody blues and some of these songs sound like the whole group. The only thing missing is the harder songs like story and I'm just a singer and see saw.

As we all know the title The Promise is the title of Mike Pinder's solo album. The image used looks remarkably similar to that used on John Lodge's solo album Natural Avenue.

My home is being threatened again... Courts will be behind me by GODS HAND I'LL BE THERE

Awesome job! Dedicated hard work from a real fan! However, some constructive criticism is required in order to stimulate further improvement of the album. Summer Breeze, Blue Guitar, Carry On, Who Could Change and Friends are not Moody Blues style compositions and sound out of place next to the other excellent choices made here. I can't believe that you past over songs like "Adam And I", "Message", "Nostradamus" or "Remember Me, My Friend" which sound more like they belong on this Moodies Album! But everyone has their own likes and dislikes and choosing mostly the best songs from each of their solo albums shows us WHY they were such a great combination of personalities! Each one supports the other like a jigsaw puzzle. When you get the right group of people together, magic happens!

Thank you…..let’s hope for a place in the future

A similar & fantastic Yes album would be devised with special selections from solo Rick Wakeman, Jon Anderson, Steve Howe and Alan White albums.

new sub Siempre atento amigos gran espacio likeee!!!

I'll be there believe praying for you don't fret in my Heart and mind God speed till we meet on the other side I wait

While I do love it. Thanks. Within minutes I thought of When you Wake up from Blue Jays. No Graeme? He had 2 solo LPs. Human, Paradise Ballroom, 1/2 of Kick off you Muddy Boots. Ray's Last Dream. Justin's One Lonely Room, Nostradamus, Doing Time. Love the choices off of Natural Avenue. Hey, make another one.

Not the same without Ray Thomas(flute and singer) here with the Moody`s, sadly missed by all, R.I.P Ray!

The Moody Blues are Middle Earth's Modern Bards.
