Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Fans of the Moody Blues hungry for the band's intoxicatingly rich arrangements and soaring melodies need look no further than this terrific compilation. What it lacks in depth this collection makes up for in breadth, spanning the band's 30-year history of hits from "Tuesday Afternoon (Forever Afternoon)" to "Your Wildest Dreams". Featuring some of Justin Hayward and John Lodge's best songwriting and packed with performances truly worthy of the superlative adjective greatest, this collection of hits delivers the goods. --L A Smith

Format:Audio CD
This compilation includes all the essential Moody blues tracks from their first UK sixties hit (Go now) to the eighties (I know you’re out the somewhere), plus Blue guitar and Forever autumn, two hits that Justin Hayward had without the Moody blues.
Among the classics here are Nights in white satin, Ride my see-saw, Voices in the sky, Question, Story in your eyes and Isn’t life strange.
Such is the legacy of the Moody blues that there is only room for the essentials on a single CD. I bought the double CD, singles+, instead. It contains all the tracks here and much else besides. Before you decide to buy this, I suggest you check that collection, which I’ve already reviewed.

[One CD, with a running time of 78:22] This collection of Moody Blues hits would better be called, "The Moody Blues Through The Years." The songs run from their early Go Now (1964), through I Know You're Out There Somewhere (1988). Along the way, we get the touching Isn't Life Strange, the haunting Forever Autumn, the radiant The Voice, and many other great songs.
My one and only complaint is that Nights In White Satin is included without Graeme Edge's spellbinding poem Late Lament. I have always found that poem to be a fantastic epilogue to the song. But that's such a minor complaint. This is a great CD, and well worth the money.
By the way, the sleeve includes a one or two-sentence story of each song, and a conversation between John Reed and Justin Hayward, which tells the story of the band. Nice bonus!

In this album, the producers have collected some of the Moody Blues greatest works, ranging from the soft, smooth lyrics of " Nights In White Satin " to the fast-beat, rock 'n' roll hit of " I'm Just A Singer ". Other good songs to listen to are the ones which are solos by either Justin Hayward or John Lodge, such as " Voices In The Sky ". The two of them sing many songs together as well as solos such as the famous " Isn't Life Strange " to the meaningful and sorrowful " Forever Autumn. " I would recommend this album to anyone who wants a review of the Moody Blues greatest works or just want to listen for pure enjoyment.

Nostalgia
Brilliant. Takes you back to your youth. Great group and great music. All their greatest songs on one album. Highly recommended for chilling out.

Great trip down memory lane...but..
Rather poor quality recordings - spoiling the wonderful music. I realise the price paid was low, but the recording could have been better.

What more can one say - if you a Moody Blues fan this is it. I have this on vinyl so now got a CD version which is just as good.

A brilliant album. I loved this stuff when they first recorded it and it's still fresh and lovely to listen to. Enjoying it immensely.
