With future Wings man Denny Laine on guitar and lead vocals and the late Clint Warwick on bass, the first incarnation of MBs were a part of the first British blues boom. Though not as effective as the Stones, Animals, etc, they were clearly one of the most musically proficient bands of the era. By the time they made this album (1965/6), most of the band were in their mid-twenties and had done their bit around Hamburg.
Most of these recordings seem to utilise Mike Pinder's piano as the focal point, especially their sole major hit, 'Go Now'. There are a handful of Laine/Pinder songs on the album, plus several more among the fourteen bonus tracks culled from single releases. While the album is quite strong, especially 'I'll Go Crazy', 'I Don't Mind', 'Let Me Go' and 'Go Now', the bonus tracks are mostly bland. It isn't hard to see why they needed a makeover. What isn't in doubt is the quality of the recordings or the band's performances. Worth a listen if you like the genre.

This is pretty much your standard mid-60s Brit-Pop and nothing like what The Moodies did on "Days Of Future Passed" and beyond. The album here consists of a couple of James Brown tunes, A Gershwin song and a few other covers. The rest, including most of the bonus tracks, are all Denny Laine/Mike Pinder songs... many in the R&B vein (including a neat cover version of "I Can't Go On Without You" and "Time Is On My Side") with great harmonies and more than adequate playing. Nothing Earth-shattering but a darn good listen if you're feeling nostalgic for a simpler, more-fun time.
The Repertoire release comes in a digi-pak and includes a 12-page booklet with pictures and info. This early effort from the band gets a lot of flack because it isn't like their later stuff (although the ending of "From The Bottom Of My Heart" sounds suspiciously like "Nights In White Satin")... but for what it is, it's pretty good. A decent effort from a great band that was on it's way to loftier heights.
Anyway, here's what you get:
1. I'll Go Crazy
2. Something You Got
3. Go Now!
4. Can't Nobody Love You
5. I Don't Mind
6. I've Got A Dream
7. Let Me Go
8. Stop
9. Thank You Baby
10. It Ain't Necessarily So
11. True Story
12. Bye Bye Bird
Bonus tracks:
13. People Gotta Go
14. Steal Your Love Away
15. Lose Your Money (But Don't Lose Your Mind)
16. It's Easy Child
17. I Don't Want To Go On Without You
18. Time Is On My Side
19. From The Bottom Of My Heart (I Love You)
20. And My Baby's Gone
21. Everyday
22. You Don't (All The Time)
23. Boulevard De La Madelaine
24. This Is My House (But Nobody Calls)
25. Life's Not Live
26. He Can Win

Anyone expecting "Nights In White Satin" material should steer clear. This is pre-Justin Hayward mod type, mid-60's energy and style.
Although thre weren't in the main league of groups of the time they had a lot of clout just the same. They were all proficient at their music after slogging the usual rounds of clubs and dives that catered for the "Beat Boom" of the time and Denny Laine's underrated vocals let the band soar. They wrote much of their recorded numbers and they could hold their own with the best of the acts of the time. And the had a distinctive look so they stood out visually.
I only found this CD was available recently after searching for the singles for ages. Don't even know how i happened across this but i bought immediately and was not dissapointed.
A friend had the singles in the 60s and we played them to death all of the time and i have'nt heard them since those days until this CD became mine at last. I have an inferior cut of the LP on a CD, minus a couple of tracks so the joy i felt at the acquisition of all of the original line-up's album and singles again was phenomenal to me, especially after all this time. The sound is perfect nand the liner notes are well set out with rare photos that show them, in all their 60's glory.
So, if you want to be reminded of how great the Moodies were before they changed musical direction aqnd became even greater then this CD is a must. It is a gem! Such a shame that their early output isn't held in higher regard. And, in contradiction to a previous reviewer, there are NO duff tracks here.

I was betrayed by my memory. I am a fan of the Moody Blues and although this record shows a totally different group of Days of Future Passed, for me it contains only 2 or 3 really... Read more
