NOTES:  ARGUABLY THE VERY FIRST 'CONCEPT' LP, AND THE FIRST TO FEATURE A FULL CLASSICAL MUSIC ORCHESTRA. THE THEME IS 'A DAY IN THE LIFE' WAY BEFORE THE BEATLES USED THE SAME THEME ON Sgt. PEPPER. ALSO THE FIRST ALBUM TO BE SPECIALLY ENGINEERED USING DERAM'S NEW SOUND SYSTEM, WHICH WAS TO BECOME ONE OF THE FORE-RUNNERS OF DIGITAL RECORDING. THIS ALBUM WENT PLATINUM IN BOTH CANADA AND THE USA.

After two years performing as a struggling white R&B band, The Moody Blues were asked by their record label in September 1967 to record an adaptation of Antonín Dvo?ák's Symphony No. 9 for the newly formed Deram Records division in order to demonstrate their latest recording techniques, which were named "Deramic Sound". Instead, the band (initially without the label's knowledge) decided to focus on an album based on an original stage show that they'd been working on. However, Decca recording engineer Derek Varnals disputes this story, claiming that even at the start of the sessions in 1967 there was no intent to record a Dvo?ák album and that talk of this project did not emerge until the mid-1970s.

Recording sessions for the album took place at Decca Studios in West Hampstead, London between 9 May and 3 November 1967. The band worked with record producer Tony Clarke, engineer Derek Varnals and conductor Peter Knight.

The album's music features psychedelic rockers, ballads by singer-songwriter and guitarist Justin Hayward, Mellotron played by keyboardist Mike Pinder and orchestral interludes by the London Festival Orchestra. The band and the orchestra only actually play together during the last part of "Nights In White Satin." [WIKIPEDIA]
