Have you heard? (The Moody Blues) (LP 328)

The Moody Blues Live at the BBC: 1967–1970 (Deram, 2007) ***

Genre:  Progressive rock 

Places I remember: HMV Oxford St., London (now goneburger!)


Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Lovely To See you





Gear costume:  Ride My See-Saw, Question

Active compensatory factors:  These tracks, all cut live for the teen beat programmes hosted by the BBC, are great to have on a double CD.


The quality is patchy though, it must be said. The first version of See-Saw is ragged as. So is Peak Hour.

But the good news is that there are enough rough diamonds to make the purchase and repeat listens worthwhile.


Where do they all belong? This is one for the fans really. Even then, it's a nice to have, rather than a must have.
