Esoteric Recordings, a label of the Cherry Red Records Group is pleased to announce the release of an official 50th Anniversary edition of \u201cThe Magnificent Moodies\u201d, the 1965 debut album by The Moody Blues, on the 24th November 2014. Now associated as being pioneers of progressive and orchestral rock, the Moody Blues had another life between 1964 \u2013 1966, as one of Britain\u2019s foremost Rhythm and Blues influenced acts. With a line-up of DENNY LAINE (Guitar, Vocals, Harmonica), RAY THOMAS (Vocals, Harmonica, Flute), MIKE PINDER (Keyboards, Vocals), CLINT WARWICK (Bass, Vocals) and GRAEME EDGE (Drums), the band signed to a London-based management company who leased recordings to Decca Records. The band\u2019s second single, a cover version of Bessie Banks\u2019 \u201cGo Now!\u201d was a huge chart success across the world. Their debut album, \u201cThe Magnificent Moodies\u201d was released in1965 to great acclaim and tours with The Beatles eventually led them to become part of Brian Epstein\u2019s management stable. The band continued to record a series of singles, enjoying further chart hits in the UK and Europe, before Clint Warwick departed to be replaced by ROD CLARKE and then finally dissolving in the Autumn of 1966 and reinventing themselves stylistically with a new line-up including JUSTIN HAYWARD and JOHN LODGE.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The official 50th anniversary reissues consist of a Deluxe edition includes the original album, re-mastered from the first generation master tapes, along with all the singles the band recorded between 1964 and 1966 (including the rare \u201cPeople Gotta Go\u201d \u2013 released only in France on an EP). Notably this collection also includes 29 previously unreleased bonus tracks, including the band\u2019s entire July 1964 sessions at Olympic studios in London produced by Alex Murray, all surviving BBC radio sessions recorded in 1965 and nine tracks recorded in the Summer of 1966 with producer Denny Cordell for a proposed but unreleased second album (all newly mixed from the original four-track master tapes). The set is packaged in a clamshell box, with a lavishly illustrated booklet (with previously unseen photographs designed by Phil Smee) and essay written by Mark Powell, three rare promotional postcards and a poster.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There is also a single CD edition, which features 15 bonus tracks (drawn from the band\u2019s singles released between 1964 & 1966). Both editions of \u201cThe Magnificent Moodies\u201d are the definitive statement on the formative years of one of Britain\u2019s greatest bands.<\/div>\n
