THE MOODY BLUES 1:- TO OUR CHILDREN'S, CHILDREN'S, CHILDREN. 2:- ON THE THRESHOLD OF A DREAM.

THE MOODY BLUES ARE AN ENGLISH BAND FOUNDED BY MICHAEL PINDER AND RAY THOMAS IN BIRMINGHAM IN 1964.
THEY WERE SUCCESSFUL WITH THEIR SECOND SINGLES "GO NOW".

THESE TWO ALBUMS SHOWED THEM AT THEIR CREATIVE BEST AFTER REINVENTING THEMSELVES FROM THEIR R&B ROOTS TO MUCH MORE FULLER, LUSH AND PSYCHEDELIC CONCEPT SOUNDS.

1:-"TO OUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN'S CHILDREN" RECORDED UNDER THE THRESHOLD LABEL IN 1969, WAS A CONCEPT ALBUM BASED ON THE BAND'S CELEBRATION OF THE FIRST MOON LANDING.

2:-"ON THE THRESHOLD OF A DREAM" RECORDED UNDER THE DERAM LABEL IN 1969 WAS MORE POETIC.

MY FAVE SONGS ARE "IN THE EYES OF A CHILD" AND "ARE YOU SITTING COMFORTABLY"
