Description:

While not a complete or exhaustive collection of the Moody Blues` appearances on the BBC, this two-disc compilation is a worthy overview of the band`s live, in-studio performances. Likewise, as over a dozen tracks are not available elsewhere on CD, BBC SESSIONS 1967-1970 (2007) perfectly complements the BBC-sourced bonus tracks found on the expanded editions of the Moodies classic back catalog. Taken primarily in a chronological fashion, the anthology kicks off with several post Denny Laine/Clint Warwick era songs that likewise pre-date the band`s DAYS OF FUTURE PASSED (1967) incarnation, while the audio from a few of the band`s television appearances make up a sizable portion of the second disc. Worth mentioning is the 16-page liner booklet with rarely published photos and a brief history of the Moody Blues` relationship with the BBC.
