Classic album of the seventies This was one of earliest acquisitions in my album collection -- I think I was probably 15 yrs. old when I purchased it. I had already been a fan of the Moody Blues, ever since I had heard "Higher and Higher" (from the previous album) on the local university 500 watt radio station -- a song by Graeme Edge that blew my mind. (That was about two years earlier.)
What's funny is that later I had repeatedly heard the song "Question" on a progressive rock station (WWRH in Columbus, GA), but for at least a year I had no idea it was the Moody Blues! (It wasn't fashionable at that time for DJ's to talk a lot, and so song after song would play without any clue as to who the artists were -- not really a bad idea in a way, but it has its downside -- as there are still a lot of classic rock songs that exist in my mind. but which I still have no clue as to who the bands were!)
I really like ALL the songs on this album. Certainly "Question"(Hayward), "Melanchonly Man,"(Pinder) and "Ask the Mirror on the Wall"(Lodge) are some of my favorites. But it should be stated that all 7 of the first batch of Moody Blues albums (this was the 5th since "Days of Future Passed" not counting "Go Now"), all of them were absolute "stars in the firmament" in their own right, and yet made a perfect collaboration as well.
