About
Five main albums available on 180g and original stereo LP pressings, with live editions and longstanding chart presence.
The Moody Blues emerged from the British music scene in May 1964, originally featuring Graeme Edge on drums, Denny Laine and Mike Pinder among others. Their early sound leaned on beat and rhythm & blues, with their 1964 single "Go Now" hitting number one in the UK charts and entering the US top 10. By 1966, lineup changes brought John Lodge and Justin Hayward, shifting the band’s style towards orchestral and psychedelic rock, underscored by use of the mellotron across multiple albums.
They remain noted for their innovative blend of rock and classical elements, with albums like "Days of Future Passed" pioneering symphonic rock.
