XARL-6869-1A / XARL-6870-1A FIRST PRESSING
The pre-psychedelic Moody Blues were represented in England by this album, which is steeped in American soul. The album is a collection of R&B and Merseybeat type songs, including the cover of 'Go Now', produced by Alex Wharton, that had been a Number 1 hit single earlier that year.
The covers include songs by James Brown, Willie Dixon, and Chris Kenner, plus the chart-busting "Go Now" (originally recorded by Bessie Banks), interspersed with a brace of originals by lead singer/guitarist Denny Laine and keyboardist Mike Pinder, and one Jeff Barry/Ellie Greenwich number, "I've Got a Dream." The shouters, like "I'll Go Crazy" and "Bye Bye Bird," will be the big surprises, showcasing the rawest sound by the group, but "I've Got a Dream" shows a lyrical, harmony-based sound that is vaguely reminiscent of the Four Tops (which is ironic, as that group later cut a single of the latter-day Moody Blues original "So Deep Within You"), while "Thank You Baby," a Laine/Pinder original, offers them doing a smooth, dance-oriented number with some catchy hooks.
The group's sound is good and loud, and Laine was a phenomenal singer.
