180g Audiophile Vinyl Mastered by Friday Music's Joe Reagoso From Original Deram Records Tapes!
Buoyed by the success of the hit single Ride My See-Saw, their definitive follow up to Days of Future Passed (FRMLP1801), In Search of the Lost Chord was filled with more hypnotic rockers like the powerful Ray Thomas classic Legend of a Mind, John Lodges masterpiece House of Four Doors, plus the legendary Justin Haywards prog-rock champion Voices in the Sky.
The wonderful release also features a fine array of songs from vocalist and keyboard whiz Mike Pinder including the acid rock sounds of The Best Way to Travel and the albums stellar closer Om, as well as the ever talented Graeme Edges distinctive drum work throughout the LP and his lyrical prowess with the albums well known classics The Word and Departure.
The beauty of this album is that you could always count on a classic listen from these five gentlemen of song. Featuring Ray Thomas striking vocals and flute delivery, Justin Haywards and John Lodges guitars and vocal acumen, the magic of Mike Pinder on the keys and classic vocal, plus Graeme Edges powerful drum and singing, In Search of the Lost Chord became the album of choice for radio programmers in 1968. All in all, a hypnotic and spirited set from this very important and much loved classic rock band.
This amazing album has been out of print on vinyl for many years, that is until now...

Never a big Moody Blues fan, on a whim I picked up a cheaply priced used copy of In Search of the Lost Chord. I liked it a lot more than I expected to. It's a late '60s concept album, a concept I dig when done right. It's electric-guitar-driven, but it includes 33 different instruments; it sounds ambitiously Beatles-esque in some places, brimming with youthful energy and ideas of a band on the cusp of greatness. The music offers lush, eardrum-caressing vocals and brilliantly inventive moments - darned if the intensifying, 45-second album opener, 'Departure,' a poem written and recited by band drummer Graeme Edge, wasn't the perfect prelude to the classic 'Ride My See-Saw.' The LP's sound is rich and warm. The cover, by artist Phil Travers, is a striking meditation on the concept of, well, meditation.Features:
