[alt.rock-n-roll] Moody Blues Discography

jtl@jolnet.ORPK.IL.US (Joe Lynn) (01/19/90)

Somebody requested a Moody Blues discography, so here's a selected
list of their US LP/CD releases.  I did not include imports, nor did I 
include solo work (posted earlier).

What are the overall opinions on _Seventh Sojourn_ and _Octave_?  I have
all of the other Mark II Moody Blues studio albums and enjoy them.  Are 
these later albums in the same vein as the earlier stuff, or is it just 
70's blah type music?  Were there any hits off of these two?

An addition:

_In the Beginning..._  Deram DES 18051

This is just a repackaging of _Go Now_ in a "groovy" cover.  It is long
out of print.  For collectors only.
