DAYS OF FUTURE PASSED is the Moody Blues' true contribution to rock history: the most cohesive integration of rock songs with orchestral music ever produced. Asked by Deram Records to create a rock reworking of Dvorak's "New World" Symphony, the Moodies instead wrote their own symphony, a song cycle that describes the emotions that accompany each part of the day, from dawn ("Dawn Is A Feeling") to night (the classic "Nights In White Satin"). The songs are connected by lush orchestral passages in which the basic musical themes are reworked. Meanwhile, the band had already begun to sound like its own orchestra, using signature Mellotron string sounds, flutes, tympani and multiple vocalists.

German label Speakers Corner have been the undisputed market leaders for audiophile reissues for over ten years.  This version is the definitive 180g pressing, and is now long out of print and highly sought after.

This copy is graded EX/NM in accordance with recognised Record Collector grading systems.  The sleeve still exhibits the gloss sheen of a new album!  The thick laminated card cover is in fntastic condition, with just the most minor of creases on the spine.  The LP itself shows no sign of having being played, but since the LP is unsealed this is the highest grading I can give it!  The vinyl has been protected in an extra anti-static inner sleeve and the LP has been kept in a heavy gauge  pvc outer cover, keeping it in great condition.

Rare chance to own a definitive version of a classic LP.
