It can be frustrating when you want to buy a 'best of' collection from one of your favorite recording artists and there are several to chose from. You want one that contains all of your favorite songs, but has the right blend of early, middle, and late material. "The Best Of The Moody Blues" is such a collection. It contains songs from nearly every point along their long and successful recording career. For those of us who are 'baby boomer' age, listening to this collection of songs is like taking a trip back in time. There are even some songs that are not exactly Moody Blues songs, like "Forever Autumn" (from the musical "War of the Worlds") sung by Justin Hayward, and "Blue Guitar" from a Justin Hayward / John Lodge collaboration during a period of time when The Moody Blues was inactive. My only complaint about this collection is the inclusion of their first UK hit "Go Now", which most Americans will not remember, and the exclusion of the song "You and Me". Aside from that, this is a great collection of their music and it deserves a space in your collection.
