Moody Blues - Go Now

I found this on one of my Mom's CD's.  When I think "Moody Blues" I think "soft rock," I think "Crosby."  But as it turns out, they burst onto the scene in 1964 with their version of this song, and it's awesome.  It's old-school brit-pop of the best sort, and I've been listening to it nonstop for the last week or so.  I doubt I'm unearthing a forgotten gem here; after all, it was a #1 single in the UK.  But I hadn't heard it, so maybe some of you haven't yet, either.  Enjoy, this post is mainly to add a little roughage to the next week or so's posts, which will contain almost entirely very long psychedelic rock.

Here's "Go Now" by the Moody Blues.

Yes, this is much different than their later stuff. Denny Laine (who sings this song) later recorded with Paul McCartney in Wings. Thanks!

Actually, at least during the Wings Over America tour 30 years ago, they did this song with Denny Laine on vocals. I saw them at MSG back then and I think you can find the song on the 3 disc set of the tour.

In fact, on this album (I believe) there is that beautiful song "Boulevard de la Madeleine", (long forgotten, though), and this is the direction they went afterwards...
