MOODY BLUES
‘DAYS OF FUTURE PAST’
Rare Original ‘White Top’ Cover 1967 UK Pressed Psychedelic Lp Housed In A Laminated Sleeve. The Album Is The Rarer Mono Issue (Different Mix).
This Album Marked The Formal Debut Of The Psychedelic-Era Moody Blues; Days Of Future Passed Was A Lot Bolder And More Ambitious. What Surprises First-Time Listeners — And Delighted Them At The Time — Is The Degree To Which The Group Shares The Spotlight With The London Festival Orchestra Without Compromising Their Sound Or Getting Lost In The Lush Mix Of Sounds. Decca Records Had Wanted A Rock Version Of Dvorak's "New World Symphony" To Showcase Its Enhanced Stereo-Sound Technology, But At The Behest Of The Band, Producer Tony Clarke Hijacked The Project And Instead Cut The Group's New Repertory, With Conductor/Arranger Peter Knight Adding The Orchestral Accompaniment And Devising The Bridge Sections Between The Songs And The Album's Grandiose Opening And Closing Sections. The Record Company Didn't Know What To Do With The Resulting Album, Which Was Neither Classical Nor Pop, But Following Its Release In December Of 1967, Audiences Found Their Way To It As One Of The First Pieces Of Heavily Orchestrated, Album-Length Psychedelic Rock To Come Out Of England In The Wake Of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's And Magical Mystery Tour Albums. What's More, It Was Refreshingly Original, Rather Than An Attempt To Mimic The Beatles; Sandwiched Among The Playful Lyricism Of "Another Morning" And The Mysticism Of "The Sunset," Songs Like "Tuesday Afternoon" And "Twilight Time" Were Pounding Rockers Within The British Psychedelic Milieu, And The Harmony Singing (Another New Attribute For The Group) Made The Band's Sound Unique. With "Tuesday Afternoon" And "Nights In White Satin" To Drive Sales, Days Of Future Passed Became One Of The Defining Documents Of The Blossoming Psychedelic Era, And One Of The Most Enduringly Popular Albums Of Its Era.
The Lp Was Released On The White/Red DSS ‘Deram’ Label (Dml 707) And Comes To Ebay In Ex/Ex Condition
