The exact copy of the first album The Magnificent Moodies 1965 by UK Decca Records
'The Magnificent Moodies' is the 1965 debut album by The Moody Blues first released in the UK and the first and only album featuring their R&B lineup of guitarist Denny Laine, bassist Clint Warwick, keyboardist Mike Pinder, flute player–percussionist Ray Thomas, and drummer Graeme Edge. The album is a collection of R&B and Merseybeat type songs, including the cover of 'Go Now', produced by Alex Wharton, that had been a Number 1 hit single earlier that year. For the US release (under the title 'Go Now – The Moody Blues #1'), four songs were replaced and the tracks were repositioned.
At the height of The Moody Blues' US success in 1970, Deram Records reissued the US version of the album with a new cover and title, 'In The Beginning' (Deram DES-18051). As with the original album, this reissue did not chart.
