On the Threshold of a Dream. Did you have any Moody Blues records growing up? They were big on theme or concept albums. My childhood pal Bruce was a huge fan of theirs. He had the best record player in the neighborhood too - it was a Panasonic Quadraphonic, with (duh) four speakers. I am not really a huge fan of the Moodies, but I now have almost every original Moody Blues record by default The front cover of this record has a psychedelic drawing of a bare, uprooted flying tree with an eye and ear. But the photo I've chosen (inside cover) is what I love most: a quintessential, late '60's British prog rock band, shown at an outdoor group photo shoot: gray sky, wet sidewalk, and serious glances.

Love the Moody Blues - I have all their vinyl and most of the remastered CDs. I've lately been seeking (and finding) most of the vinyl copies of their solo work over the years as well - just last weekend found a good quality vinyl copy of Ray Thomas' Hopes, Wishes and Dreams. I have most of Justin Hayward's solo works (and of course the marvelous Blue Jays project withe fellow Moody John Lodge), Graeme Edge's work with Adrian Gurvitz and one or two of Mike Pinder's solo projects. Good stuff. Even saw them in concert a year or so ago and they still sound excellent.
