The Moody Blues - Every Good Boy Deserves Favour (1971) SACD
EGBDF is of course not only a musical scale but also the name The Moody`s gave to their 6th classic album. It seemed at the time that the Moody`s could do no wrong with yet again this album reaching number 1 in the UK and number 2 in the US Charts.
Yet with Every Good Boy Deserves Favour things really started to change for the Moody Blues.
EGBDF represented for the Moody`s a shift from the mellotron soaked passages to a more Moog synth dominated album yet remained still lush and symphonic. The Moody`s even changed labels moving from the familiar haunts of Decca to use other studio and engineers. The album was released on their own label Threshold and sold very well at the time and remains among Moody Fans on the great treasured albums.
Sonically this album is once again darn near perfect for my ears as the SACD was lifted straight from the original Quad masters and offers amazing separation and tone clarity.
I am sure there are many who will dis this gem but take it from me (a huge fan of the Moody`s) that this SACD is essential and sonically beautiful.
They just dont make music like this any more.........
