Beatles MFSL box set


Category: Music

i have just received this box set, cleaned it with disc doctor fluid and brushes and my manual method, i have played up to revolver, i cant understand what took me so long to get my hands on the vault, the sonics on the early lps are super, the air and imaging are great, compared to a long list of early Beatles lps i have gone through, on Sunday and with the Beatles for me thats what Sundays are for, except going to church first, then its Beatles Sunday, and O happy day, mike

I second er a third the Moodys Seventh Sojourn. My favorite was Every Good Boy but the recording was never very good. Unfortunately the Moodys Made some great music they just had some bad recordings. Like Picasso on Cardboard.
Stltrains, Sure gonna miss Ray Thomas' voice and writing. His solo albums are great if you can find them. He had such a deep smooth voice with great range. I have the latest DVD that had the new Flutist and she does a great job but sing "For My lady". I saw them several times at Red Rocks and was there when they recorded with the Colo Symphnany (spelling sux I know). But they were a great band I feel they were better in the days of Michael Pinder, but they did good after, just not the same feel.
Haywards solo albums are good too if you haven't got 'em.
Never did get to see them with Pinder. First time I saw them was the Octave tour. Pinder just wouldn't tour even though he was on the album. Moraz was a great showman and he and Ray seemed to have a real connection on stage. They did the extra long version of Legend of Mind and blew me away. I got a kick out of Patrick Moraz making a reference to Ray's flute as a cheap imitation of Ian Anderson and Ray just flipped him off and kept playing. Anyway just a memory
Zeneith, Moraz was also a great keyboardist as well. He added something to the Moodies, but I think it took them away from their roots and they have never found their way back. But I do enjoy his addition to the sound. I just miss Pinders influence. He kept them in that "concept LP"
frame of mind. Hayward and Lodge just don't get there anymore for me.
