2.0 out of 5 stars Great music in search of great mastering, June 26, 2005
By monoblocks (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
While I doubt I'll EVER get used to the edited (single?) version of 'Nights In White Satin' presented here, I have to agree that the song selection in general is excellent for a compilation of this seminal band. That said, The Moody Blues (or more likely, their record label) haven't exactly been shy about releasing such anthologies and hits collections on CD, either. While 'Gold' represents an affordable means of buying some of the best known and loved music from The Moody Blues, it also is for me one of the most trying listening experiences as well.

If I had to guess, I'd say much of the music contained on 'Gold' comes from different masters than the songs currently found on other collections, and on the band's original CD albums. There are definite issues with the sonic quality of these songs as presented on this disc. For instance, the music track of 'Nights' is horrendously compressed in comparison to earlier CD versions of this song; perhaps the record label was working with an unremastered single release master of the song (my guess), but the audible discrepancies between this version and earlier examples (albeit, in the full album form including The Late Lament and the full orchestral intro) are hard for this listener to stomach. I can point to any of the earlier music included here and say pretty much the same thing. Whatever the reason, the original source material used for this CD could've seriously benefitted from earnest remastering work. While I suspect that would've raised the asking price of 'Gold', I also would contend that great music DESERVES such caring treatment.

As it is, too much of 'Gold' as issued is indeed quite tarnished, which in the real world given the metal that goes by periodic symbol of Au would've been impossible to do. But evidently in realm of the corporate music world, when selling music on the cheap and banging out sloppily compiled CDs it's very easy to take the most precious and thoroughly muck it up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Introduction for the Novice Moody Blues Fan, March 9, 2005
The real question that needs to be asked is "Does the record-buying public really need another Moody Blues anthology?" An ever-increasing number of bands from the sixties through the eighties now have more compilations in their catalog than they have studio albums. In the last decade the Moodies have released two studio albums, but no fewer than six anthologies--plus the 4-disc box set TIME TRAVELLER.

If you're a casual fan and don't already own their 1994 box set or 1998's well chosen ANTHOLOGY, you certainly can't go wrong with this 34-track collection. The collection begins with "Tuesday Afternoon" from the classic lineup's 1968 debut DAYS OF FUTURE PAST and continues through "December Snow" from their 2003 holiday album DECEMBER. [As the previous reviewers have noted, "Go Now" is not included, but that 1965 hit came from a lineup that did not include the Moodies' principal songwriters, Justin Hayward and John Lodge.] What you do get is all of their top 40 hits, key album tracks, and a handful of side projects like the Blue Jays' "Remember Me My Friend" and "Blue Guitar," and Justin Hayward's "Forever Autumn" from Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of "War of the Worlds." All told this is a very satisfying collection if you're looking for a solid introduction to the Moody Blues. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

5.0 out of 5 stars Great set of musical gems...., May 15, 2005
By J. Bilby "littlebibs" (Kingston, New Hampshire United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Can't go wrong with this double set of some of the best of
the Moody Blues and misc individual contributions over the
years. Great value for the $$, sure they've covered many of
these tunes in one package or another but as the years go
buy the sound quality has been improved, more punch to the songs
so I choose to buy these songs again. This is a group that will
keep a following well into their older years and gain new ones
just on the quality and mystical sounds they gave us. I always
loved the Justin Hayward "Forever Autumn" single as well as
Blue jays cuts I hadn't had a chance to collect, all here on
this excellent double disc. If you look all around you the 60's
and 70's have made another impact on this culture, it doesn't
suprise me that the Moody Blues music rides along and younger
kids rediscover this all again. Great music.
