THE MOODY BLUES -
DAYS OF FUTURE PASSED
Deram Records DES-18012
Produced By Dacre-Barclay, Tony Clarke
Bell Sound
Released In 1967


Days of Future Passed is the second album and first concept album by English rock band The Moody Blues, released in November 1967 by Deram Records.

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 as a stereo demonstration record.

Instead, the band chose to record an orchestral song cycle about a typical working day.

Recording sessions for the album took place at Decca Studios in West Hampstead, London during 9 May – 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 accompaniment by the London Festival Orchestra.

Music writers cite the album as a precursor to progressive rock music. Bill Holdship of Yahoo! Music remarks that the band "created an entire genre here."

Will Hermes cites the album as an essential progressive rock record and views that its use of the Mellotron, a tape replay keyboard, made it a "signature" element of the genre.

An influential work of the counterculture period,

Allmusic editor Bruce Eder calls the album "one of the defining documents of the blossoming psychedelic era, and one of the most enduringly popular albums of its era."
