I have heard and enjoyed this album in a variety of formats, but this 2006 SACD compilation and its multi-channel recording let me experience the music as if for the first time. The original performances were intended for surround sound and quadraphonic masters were made. Channel separation is used to creative effect throughout, it has been faithfully preserved in the translation from the 1969 quadraphonic masters to the 5.1 recording on this disc. It sounds amazing even on my very inexpensive SACD/surround sound setup.

These Moody Blues SACD's were transferred from the Quad mixes done in the 70's. They are NOT 5.1 - The center channel speaker has no signal, even though they call it 5.1 and the center channel speaker light comes on, the center speaker is silent. However, the original quad mixes by Derek Varnals were excellent with great use of the surrounds as a source of backup vocals, acoustic guitar, split double lead guitars, mellotron and even lead vocal on occasion. It is unfortunate that Lodge's bass was recorded so badly and these mixes cannot correct that, but with a bit of tweaking, you can make the bass legible. You really need to get these if you're a Moodies fan.
The advantage of all the Moodies SACDs is that the were also released in Quadraphonic when that was a thing in the early 70s. So these mixes are the original quadraphonic releases and not a stereo release that has been remastered and altered to surround sound. Their SACDs are the original surround sound which is why they sound so amazing...

I'm a Moody Blues fan from the beginning so I am very biased. In the beginning I listed to this album on 8 track tape in my car, the recording was limited to the format but my ears were in very good condition. Now my ears are not so good anymore so I get the best gear I can and the best recordings available so the SACD version is what I have now and to my tired ears it still sounds wonderful in the extreme! This album does not disappoint on any level.
If you're a Moody Blues fan you'll love this disc. The sound quality and SACD features are excellent.
This is the deluxe edition of the classic Moody Blues album with a mindboggling nine bonus tracks included. Beautifully enjoyable!!!
Moody Blues always been one of my favorite band. This SACD is excellent. A little bass shy but all you have to do is turn the bass up.
