Synopsis

Album Description

2008 reissue of In Search of the Lost Chord,originally released in 1968, which was the third album by The Moody Blues, and the second to feature Justin Hayward and John Lodge.This reissue features 21 tracks with the 12 originals plus the 9 bonus tracks. The album may be considered a concept album because several of the tracks deal with the theme of a person's search for spiritual fulfillment. Another concept dealt with in the album is the search for a mythical "lost chord," which is revealed to be the mantra "Om" (in the last stanza of Graeme Edge's poem "The Word"). The album peaked at #23 U.S. album charts and in the UK reached #5.

CD Reviews

Why has this album been abbreviated

James Beall | Emigrant, MT | 01/19/2010

(3 out of 5 stars)

"I have the {Deluxe Edition} of this album, with two discs. The first disc is the original album, and the second contains 15 hard-to-find tracks. That's 6 more than are offered here. Some of these tracks - notably "Thinking Is The Best Way To Travel (from Top Gear)" with its crisp flute accents - sound more impressive than the original studio version.

If you just wanted the re-masterd album, this is a decent product. If you are more interested in the bonus material, you should be aware that some of it is missing in this offering. That's why I don't give it five stars."
