MFSL moody blues: are they all so good?


I just picked up a MFSL copy of Days of Future Past and was astonished at how much better it sounded than my original deram copy from the late sixties. Are all the MFSL editions of the other 6 classic albums as good i.e. so much better than the original (US) pressings?? If so i had better start saving since they are very expensive on the used market

THe MoFi of "Seventh Sojourn" is very good but not revolutionary.

Most of the newer CD remasters of the MB albums are very good as well.

Remasters of Octave and their early 80's discs by Justin Hayward are major improvements over the original CD releases as are all the remasters of the classic 7 albums that I have heard, the best sound for these I have heard (and I've heard a lot over the years).

I've posted a few reviews discussing sound quality of MB albums here on agon if interested.

I have never heard a poor recording of DOFP. It's the only original issue MB CD that I have not felt a need to replace or upgrade. it was designed as a statement audio album and has always sounded it. Not always the case with all the other MB albums.

I'm due to see the Moodies live one more time soon before they decide to finally call it quits. They have put on a great show every time I have seen them, at least since the 90's.
"The 2012 inductees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have just been announced.

The Moodies get stiffed again.

Somebody 'splain this to me."

My understanding is the choices are made by the R&R HOF proprietors and is highly biased accordingly. Evidence indicates they do not like anything in teh R&R HOF that strays too far from American roots type music. British Progressive or classical styled rock acts have little chance it seems. I think Genesis made it in last year finally but they have little company from other famous "prog" rock acts so far. I think Floyd made it in a while back maybe.

The whole thing is just wrong so I try not to get too upset.
