Year Band Lineup
---- -----------
1964 - 1966 Moody Blues (Mark I):
Denny Laine - guitars, vocals
Clint Warwick - bass guitar, vocals
Mike Pinder - keyboards, vocals
Ray Thomas - harmonica, flute, vocals
Graeme Edge - drums, percussion
released:
_#1 - Go Now_ (1965)
London PS 428
produced by Denny Cordell and A. Wharton
I Go Crazy [US Version]; And My Baby's
Gone; Go Now; It's Easy Child; Can't
Nobody Love You; I Had A Dream; Let Me
Go; I Don't Want To Go On Without You;
True Story; It Ain't Necessarily So;
Bye Bye Burd; From The Bottom of My
Heart
This LP was reissued in 1972 as
_In The Beginning_ (1972)
Deram/London DES 18051
with the same matrix numbers as _Go Now_.
The psychedelic cover art was designed
to fit the Moodies' new image, forsaking
the 'blues' look -- despite the fact that
the record within was exactly the same as
_Go Now_. _In The Beginning_ was deleted
from London's catalog in the mid-70s:
_Go Now_ remained in the catalog until
the late 80s.
Polygram issued these tracks on CD when
_Go Now's_ UK counterpart (originally
Decca UK: LK 4711) was released worldwide as
_The Magnificent Moodies_ (1989)
London/Polygram 820 758-2
This CD also contains a number of bonus
tracks, consisting of recordings culled from
singles, B-sides, and EPs (indicated by
an asterisk):
I'll Go Crazy; Something You Got;
Go Now; Can't Nobody Love You;
I Don't Mind; I've Got A Dream;
Let Me Go; Stop; Thank You Baby;
