The Core 7 albums have always been the greatest to fans... welcome aboard, not the same as in the height of the flower child movement though....

I have been a fan of the Moodies since I first heard Tuesday Afternoon on the car radio after working a night shift at Bethlehem Steel. The term Core 7 is new to me, however. I recently tracked down a very old friend from Buffalo through Facebook and his first response was saying he had always wondered what happened to his old Moody Blues fan friend.

row_33 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Thanks Bill, Core 7 are the albums from DoFP to Seventh Sojourn, based on lineup and what could be argued is the best they gave us. It cuts out good work before and after the 7 though. great to find another fan of the group, hope we get more concerts to attend as they keep it going 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 how did you come across The Beat during their days? We had the BBC and alternative new wave stations that brought in this great era of music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the main force behind The Left Bank. That Left Bank album is one of my top 10 albums. The music is very distinctive. It was supposed to be Baroque rock. Did you know that or look it up?

I have a slightly similar story. I heard Tuesday Afternoon in what I believe was the end of January of 1968. I was listening to CHUM at the time. It was one of those songs that when you heard it the first time, you just had to here it again. Not many songs you like instantly. There used to be a band in southern Ontario called Major Hooples Boarding House that did a great version of Tuesday Afternoon and SeeSaw. The SeeSaw version was almost identical to the Moodies. Also if you liked the MB's you may have missed this great song, from Jeff Wayne's "War of the Worlds." It is by Justin Haywood. The Jeff Wayne album is worth a listen and Forever Autumn fits it perfectly. Edited February 17, 2018 by Greybeard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A member of each band looked similar so I figured that was it and looked them up. But actually "Brother Louie" wasn't written by Michael Brown, but Errol Brown from "Hot Chocolate" and Stories did a cover of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have thought Michael Brown was the writer for years. It was odd in the video's of both bands they hardly showed him. All to often the vids are too centered on the lead singer. Even some video's with a great guitar part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jeff Wayne album is worth a listen and Forever Autumn fits it perfectly. I heard Tuesday Afternoon in what had to be the Summer of '68, before I started college. I discovered that I never wanted to be a steel worker and that I loved the Moody Blues. Oh, and I actually know that song and album well. I bought the album while stationed in Belgium and really loved it. Justin's distinctive voice and guitar playing are a beautiful accent to the album. Love the flute as well. P.S. Thanks for posting this...I haven't heard that song in many years. Edited February 17, 2018 by Billsfansinceday1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
