“Lovely to see you again”
An excellent compilation covering the period from “Days of future passed” up to and including “Seventh Sojourn”. This was the Moody Blues most creative and productive period, and the tracks selected here arguably represent the best of those albums.
The tracks have been ordered in such a way as to create the right balance, and are thus not presented chronologically. Clearly, considerable thought has gone into this, with tracks such as “Melancholy man” flowing seamlessly into “Nights in white satin”, and “Isn’t life strange” moving into “The dream” and the wonderful “Have you heard” suite. The trademark segues which feature on the early Moody Blues albums have once again been used here, adding to the delightful flow of the album.
With the focus being almost exclusively on the “Magnificent seven” albums, the only comparatively rare track is “A simple game”. This excellent song became a major chart hit for Motown group The Four Tops. As with any compilation, there are omitted tracks which fans will feel should be there, but the selections chosen are indeed worthy.
The “Time traveller” 4 CD collection is the better option if cash is no object, but for a budget priced 90 minute introduction to the band during their heyday, “This is the Moody Blues” is ideal.

Along time ago, I bought this LP from "The Moody Blues", because it appears the original single "Nights In White Satin".
You ask me: "What's the difference?" and I answer: "A substantial, does not bring this single string orchestra as featured in 'Days of the future passed', which in my humble opinion is not less. I have nothing against Mr. Peter Knight (director and arranger), but his orchestral arrangements on this song, helped to weaken, rather than being a contribution.
