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? -- ========================================================================= = Andrew Krieg The Marvel Historian = = G.E.

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. -- Michael Sullivan uunet!jarthur!aqdata!sullivan aQdata, Inc. sullivan@aqdata.uucp San Dimas, CA
