Days of Future Passed foreshadowed the arrival of symphonic progressive rock groups like Yes and Emerson, Lake & Palmer (and others). The DERAM label wanted an updated rock version of Dvorak's New World Symphony. What they got was an amalgam of rock styles (ballad to driving) fused with classical orchestral elements. If you listen closely, you can tell where the Moodies songs begin and end and where the orchestra takes over. Starting with Tuesday Afternoon, though, the two become increasingly one especially in the case of Nights in White Satin. Once you hear the end of the album with the poem and gong fading out, you'll understand why the CD begins with a reverse sound of a gong: in other words, everything is cyclical. If you've never heard the album in its entirety, it's an eye opening experience in the same way as listening to Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd.Read full review
There is always a risk that a CD may have scratches, especially an original one as this one is. I was pleasantly surprised that it may have a few scuffs, but the playback was perfect with no skips or hisses. The sound quality was excellent. Love the Moody Blues all over again.
