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

theo i have been going to the uk ebay site received a few moodys lps hoping for a musical lp or two i am 1 out of 3, a question of balance is very musical top to bottom, struck out on sojourn, and every good boy, my best for those two are us pressings, and they are lacking the air i like, got to love them moodys, we made the trip to st. louis last year to catch them, first tour without ray, the young lady who filled in on the flute did a fine job, they have a cd that came out earlier this year of the whole show,
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.
I too saw them about three years ago in a small venue in Youngstown, Ohio. Ray and Patrick were both absent due to retirement. The acoustics were horrible in the facility. There was a lady on flute and she did a superb job! The German Imort of "Question of Balance" is also very well recorded! "Sojourn" is hard to find in the MOFI pressing. As far as digital goes ........ The MOFI cd of "Sojourn" is also very good. But lacks the luster of the black circle! Stltrains, be patient and you'll end up with the superb MOFI "Sojourn". Let me know your thoughts once you've had a chance to listen to it. "Picasso on cardboard" now that could very well be a master piece indeed! :))
guys ive seen the moodys quite a few times, the best for me was a show at audubon zoo in new orleans, over three hours of moodys, at the time long distance voyager was the latest release, they played the whole lp, saw them only once with mike back in the day, i have played the rest of the beatles mfsl lps, no doubt the early 4 or 5 are much better than anything i have got my hands on, mike


The best Moody Blues show that I have ever seen was in 72 when they were all pretty young. That was magical to say the least. I hadn't seen another show like that until Floyd did the "Dark Side of the Moon". Like I said before! If it make you happy ....... that's all that counts!
