A deluxe version of the band’s second (third if we count the Denny Laine led version of the band) album. While it doesn’t quite compare to the ground breaking first, it has a number of worthwhile highlights.
‘Legend of A Mind”, “The Actor” and “Ride My Seesaw” remain highlights of the album and Ray Thomas song remained one of the most played from the second album. The remix by Steven Wilson (only included in the 2018 super deluxe) really needs to be issued on CD; Steve a Wilson’s remix does a nice job of making an album that sounded murky have better clarity.
The two CD/SACD deluxe does provide the original quad multi-channel and sounds quite nice. The first disc features the quad on an SACD second layer while the original stereo is presented on the same disc.
The second disc includes alternate mixes, outtakes, b-sides and the songs that ended up on their live album as the ‘new’ tracks on that 1977 “Caught Live Plus 5”.
The 2 disc edition is less expensive than the four disc set. If you want the single disc CD with bonus tracks

"...Best Way To Travel..." - In Search Of The Lost Chord by THE MOODY BLUES (2008 Universal/Deram CD 'Expanded' Remaster)
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2018
The Moodies 3rd studio album "In Search Of The Lost Chord" saw the Blighty light of day in late July 1968 in Stereo (followed in the USA in October 1968) and has always been a firm fan fave.Part Prog, Part Acid Trip, yet seriously melodic and lyrically reaching - their poppy debut "The Magnificent Moodies" of July 1965 must have seemed a long musical way back - because this Mellotron, Guitars and Flutes fusion saw the group embrace the far-out artwork of Philip Travers and the floating-on-astral-plains ideals of the day (gardens of delight baby, ultra violet lights and the earth turning slowly around as we all chant ‘om’ –if you know what I’m saying).Shadows of "Revolver" and "Sgt. Peppers" collide with Ravi Shankar and Donovan and Island’s Nirvana to produce music that is dated in places for sure – but is still as innovative and beautiful as it was when first released. And this gorgeous sounding 40th Anniversary CD Remaster from 2008 only hammers home just how innovative it was. Here are the Voices In The Sky...UK released July 2008 - "In Search Of The Lost Chord" by THE MOODY BLUES on Universal/Deram 530 706-9 (Barcode 600753070697) is an 'Expanded Edition’ CD Reissue with the 12-Track 1968 Stereo Albums plus Nine Bonus Tracks that plays out as follows (75:59 minutes):1. Departure [Side 1]2. Ride My See-Saw3. Dr. Livingstone, I Presume4. House Of Four Doors (Part 1)5. Legend Of The Mind6. House Of Four Doors (Part 2)7. Voices In The Sky [Side 2]8. The Best Way To Travel9. Visions Of Paradise10. The Actor11. The Word12. OmTracks 1 to 12 are the album "In Search Of The Lost Chord" - released July 1968 in the UK in Stereo on Deram SML 711 and October 1968 in the USA on Deram DES 18017. Produced by TONY CLARKE – it peaked at No. 5 in the UK and No. 23 in the USA LP charts.BONUS TRACKS:13. A Simple Game (Justin Hayward Vocal Mix)14. The Best Way To Travel (Additional Vocal Mix)15. Visions Of Paradise (Instrumental Version)16. What Am I Doing Here? (Original Version)17. The Word (Mellotron Mix)18. Om (Extended Version, 6:07 minutes)19. Doctor Livingstone I Presume20. Thinking Is The Best Way To Travel21. A Simple Game - Non-Album B-side to "Ride My See Saw", UK released 25 October 1968 on Deram DM 213)The 20-page booklet is a surprisingly decent affair – MARK POWELL of Esoteric Recordings providing the hugely illuminating and enthusiastic liner notes. There are period colour photos of the five lads – Justin Hayward, John Lodge, Mike Pinder, Graeme Edge and Ray Thomas – as well as a Deramic Stereo Sound trade advert for the album, rare Euro pictures sleeves for singles like "Ride My See-Saw" and "Voices In The Sky" and of course the original LP artwork.The Remaster of the Stereo Album by ALBERTO PARODI and JUSTIN HAYWARD has been taken from original Decca master tapes with MARK POWELL being the Audio Engineer on the Extra Tracks. This CD sounds amazing – real care taken – warm and kicking for all the right reasons. To the music...Once you get past "Departure" (Graeme Edge's opening 44 seconds of spoken piffle) - you're greeted by the rocking John Lodge song "Ride My See-Saw" – a clear winner that screamed period 45 (and that’s what they did). After the American release of the album in October 1968, the Moodies returned to Decca's Studios in the UK to record Mike Pinder's "A Simple Game" (Track 21) - a song that was popped onto the B-side of the decidedly commercial "Ride My See-Saw" and rush-released (Deram DM 213 was issued 25 October 1968).The fantastically hippy six thirty-six minutes of "Legends Of A Mind" tells us you can't take a trip on Astral Plains because Timothy Leary is dead (the 3CD Decca Underground Box Set of 2008 took its name from this trippy track - see separate review). The remaster is gorgeous really bring out those Hayward 12-String Guitar moments abled helped by Ray Thomas on Flute while Pinder brings up the Mellotron rear. After the magic of "The Best Way To Travel" with its clever stop-start melodies and far-out-man lyrics - "Visions Of Paradise" with its Flutes, Voices and subtle Sitar notes feels positively peaceful and beautiful. Side 2 ends on what I think is the records high point – the fabulous Nirvana vs. Donovan "Om" – nearly six minutes of the band layering Sitars, Flutes and Violins with gorgeously orchestrated voices – the whole clouds passing by my head thing floating on a soft Tabla beat. Heaven indeed...An exemplary CD Reissue and for under five quid (if you’ll forgive the British Railways lost baggage reclaim pun) – a bit of a aural find...

I am not going to offer up a review of the entire album. There are MANY talented folks here who have done a much better job of it than I ever could hope to, so what's the point? I'd just like to offer up my 2 cents on my favorite songs from this great Moody Blues work.
First off is John Lodge's classic, feel-good rocker 'Ride My See-Saw'. (This tune and 'I'm Just a Singer' frequently trade places as my favorite Moodies song). I might as well admit it right now: I am a HUGE John Lodge fan and he is my fave Moody. That will become glaringly apparent if you read any more of my Moody Blues product reviews. Am I the least bit biased towards this living legend? Not at all! While I am not totally sure of the exact meaning of the lyrics, on the surface RMSS seems to be rife with double entendres and sexual innuendo, at least that's what I've read many times. But knowing of JL's deep religious beliefs, I strongly guess that that's not the case at all. This song is just plain fun to listen and sing along to. John and Justin's great guitar work ain't none too shabbily showcased either. RMSS is John Lodge at his rocking best.
I am also a big fan of Ray Thomas' often overlooked (and in my opinon) under-used talents. His ode to 'Dr. Livingstone' is a cheery, cute song that I could listen to all day long while having a goofy smile on my face. Ray's next offering, 'Legend of a Mind' is a legend of a song, and perfectly shows off this man's awesome vocal skills, not to mention the fact that he can blow the living tar out of a flute. This song has the best series of build-ups (for lack of a better word) and crescendos of any song I have ever heard. (You'll have to over-look the fact that I am not at all musical nor versed in music lingo, so that's the best description I could give. I hope most will understand what I'm talking about). I can literally listen to this song over and over w/o growing tired of it. The subject matter of this song doesn't matter to me one iota. The melody, the beat, the musicianship, and John's fabulous high note harmonies all combine to make this song a pure delight to my ears.
Next on my list is Lodge's 'House of Four Doors'. I'll spare you the details of how great I think this song is. I'll briefly just state that HOFD is hauntingly eerie and beautiful all at the same time. Maybe- just maybe- I could have done w/o 'some' of the sound effects of the creaking door, but hey John didn't ask me for my opinion before including them. It really doesn't affect my overall opinion of this great song. Yes, it's a John Lodge tune, and yes I darn well love it.
I am ending my little synopsis with two songs from the sublime Justin Hayward.(BTW, I like him, too. He's my 2nd fave Moody). Firstly is 'Voices in the Sky'. I have to admit that it took me a while to really love and appreciate this one (I don't exactly know why) but it is a truly lovely song. This song DOES make me wonder what the birds could say to me if they only could. As usual, Justin does a superb vocal and the song fits him and this album really well. But.... my favorite Hayward tune on this record is by far 'The Actor'. In fact, it's one of my all-time favorite songs of his. Both the lyrics and the sound of this song are as timeless today as when JH penned it many years ago. Something in this song really strikes a chord in me. Perhaps it's the fact that we all tend to put on a good front for the world and get caught up in playing our little roles? I heard Justin sing this song live recently and I have to say the man's voice sounds just as good as it did way back when. He truly is a gifted singer, guitarist and performer.
Well, I guess I'm just about through telling y'all (I'm from the South, after all) about my favorite songs from ISOTLC. I hope this "review" makes someone want to go and listen to these songs (or the entire album) anew- or better yet- hear them for the very first time. Either way, I do hope you enjoy!

Compared this version and the 1997 CD on Samsung blu-ray player connected to a Sony 5.1 via optical cord. I'm listening to the CD on my computer using Windows Media player.
First and most important is that you realize that this isn't an SACD. This is a regular CD. That said, it is still much better than the 1997 remaster.
There are two CDs, The original album remastered and alternate versions of songs on the CD plus "What Am I Doing Here?', "Visions of Paradise", and "a Simple Game" (two versions).
If for some very strange reason you are reading this and are not familiar with 'the Moodies' I can only say that this is a Masterpiece! The Moody Blues created the 'Magnificent Seven'.
Unsatisfied with their early success as a kind of cover band, Decca gave them the opportunity to create a whole new genre and they did it!
For those of you not familiar with this acid trip, you are in for a treat!
First we depart and immediately get the idea of the insanity to ensue!
Up we go and then we "Ride My See-saw" and learn some answers are no longer true.
On to the undiscovered when we meet 'Dr. Livingston, I Presume". Have I mentioned that this is an awesome album?! 'We're all looking for someone.' x
My god, they have some great graphics in Media Player!
"House of Four Doors" begins the true journey. (Back in 1970 when I was introduced to the hippie culture, this was one of the albums along with "To Our Children's Children's Children" to which I was to listen while taking my first acid trip. I spent several days trying to find the phrase I heard, "This trip has been brought to you by the Moody Blues."
The 'House of Four Doors', 'Legend of the Mind' is the most awesome trip next to "To Our Children's Children's Children".
We begin with the "Departure" although brief.
On to "Ride My See-Saw" with it's up and down action.
Then we are all searching for someone in "Dr. Livingston, I Presume."
"House of Four Doors" is the beginning of the peak. We come to four doors and at the fourth door we take off.
"Legend of the Mind" is the peak trip! Is Timothy Leary really dead?!? 'He will bring you back the same day.'
Back to the 'House of Four Doors'
Personal note-I never understood the four doors concept. The problem was when I was in 'nam I was a Christian in my heart. It wasn't until later that I realized Buddhism really fit my beliefs the best. Then I understood the house of four doors; physical, ethereal, mental, spiritual.
Alright, I had a chat with some god while tripping and listening to this album. You don't understand or hopefully you really do understand 'The Magnificent Seven' by the 'Moodies'
Peace

Gregory Kiely, Perth Western Australia - YOU MAY JUST FIND YOUR LOST CHORD
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 7, 2016
I expected to hear something that I may have missed in the rock genre in this album. However, this was somewhat of a surprise. Every song on this album is carefully ordered and engineered to 1968 [release date] perfection. What a rare gem this album is for the latter part of the 1960s.
It has not lost any of its listening appeal. This album is still very much accessible to the discerning listener's ears -- and mind. This album is thought provoking and yet remains somewhat of a musical experience. Two levels of listening pleasure happening at the same time. Now this is quite a musical feat for a rock band.
To quote John Lodge about the meaning of the album, "So we went into the studio and said, let's see how far we can actually go, see if there are any limits to music and limits. And that's what we tried to achieve. We said there are no boundaries" (liner notes to the 1997 Decca CD release). Certainly, this is what I experienced with the first listen. After that I played the album over and over again. The more I listened with contentment, the more I heard of the finer classical instrumentation by Ray Thomas and also some Eastern influences, such as the sitar - so lovingly played throughout the unfolding tracks by Justin Hayward. The classical influence all sound so 'mean't to be' in the album; and this is very much the albums theme. In search of the lost chord, the sacred sound, that I was soon reverberating in my own voice and getting quite into the harmonics the album seems to offer so generously.
If you just relax and get past the first tracks without any bias or negativity, you can open right up to the listening experience with this album. It is the type of music offering which allows one to listen with one's partner [for example] as a full experience. But the effect is equally true as a total experience for a person relaxing alone. There is a sense of love in this album and love resonates with this album.
I finally got the feeling that I found the 'lost chord' listening to this album. As bliss returned to me, I decided to give this album a place in my top twenty five albums of all time. I hope you might find this is also true. I am sure millions of people already have from 1968 to the present day.

This was the first vinyl record that I bought in 1968 after I bought all the Beatles albums. The enhanced sounds on this 50th anniversary cd make for great listening. The NME review at the time said it was like taking a journey with the band and they were right. Ray Thomas's flute playing comes to the fore and is a thing of beauty. Mitzi, our cat, loved the soft sounds of the Moodies and so did I. Classic songs from a classic band.

Maybe a bit dated now.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 11, 2019
The second, of what became known as the core 7, of the Moody Blues albums, may sound a bit dated now (after all it is now just over 50 years old), but there are still some very likeable tracks on this album. The 2 which, for me, are Legend of a Mind, and Best Way To Travel. A product of its year of release, I don't think that it has aged as well as some other of the Moody Blues albums released around the late 60's and early 70's. I still think their best 2 albums were released just after In Search Of The Lost Chord the following year 1969. That said, I still like listening to this album, but I have to be in a particular frame of mend. Still enjoyable though.

"The Actor", "Ride my See Saw", "Visions of Paradise", etc, etc), but it also has some great extras, especially "A Simple Game" in 2 versions, one sung by Justin and the other by Mike - I think I like Mike's version best as Justin's brilliant voice is too low, I think, for this particular song (I'm sure many people will disagree with me!!). Another good extra track is Justin's poignant tribute to a fallen soldier, "What am I doing here?" This is a must-have for anyone's Moody Blues collection.
