The Moody Blues Digitally Reboot Their Projects

In recent years the Moody Blues have evolved into "That band" That band that travels from city to city sporting their music with local philharmonic orchestras. At first... I thought to myself, "I'm such a sucker." After the show the moody blues of my many attitudes was convinced that something extremely brilliant was happening. That sort of marketing has made them a must see performance. The Knights in White Satin are reissuing their classic tunes in a box set blasting with the kind of stuff that once made albums famous. Pictures...a 120-page booklet. DVD live performances. It doesn't end there... Justin Hayward and Company have invited fans on a classic rock cruise that includes Toto, Yes and the group Asia. Back to the music! Justin says they went back revisit their classic albums in 2008, but the reissue project couldn’t compare with the sheer dimension of this one: ‘Timeless Flight: The Voyage Continues,’ set for release on June 3, will include 11 CDs, six DVDs and a host of cool memorabilia including a replica concert poster. Three of the DVDs will feature 5.1 surround sound mixes of Moody Blues albums released between 1967-72 — including ‘Days of Future Passed’ (which featured both ‘Nights in White Satin’ and ‘Tuesday Afternoon’); ‘On the Threshold of a Dream’ (the band’s first U.K. chart-topper); ‘To Our Children’s Children’s Children’ (a No. 2 hit in the band’s native England); ‘A Question of Balance’ (which went Top 5 in both America and the U.K.); ‘Every Good Boy Deserves Favour’ (home to ‘The Story in Your Eyes’); and ‘Seventh Sojourn’ (which included the hit ‘I’m Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)). Hayward, who just released his first solo album since 1996, oversaw the remastering. The remaining trio of DVDs will focus on rare television appearances by the group, promo clips and a previously unreleased film of a 1970 concert in Paris.
