From Loudersound.
A new deluxe four CD and one Blue-ray box set of the The Moody Blues 1969 album To Our Children’s Children is to be released through UMR on May 12.
The new version of the band’s fifth studio album, their second to be released in 1969, behind On The Threshold Of A Dream, features the remastered original stereo mix, along with new stereo and 5.1 Surround Sound mixes by Stephen W. Tayler. The new box set also features various B-sides and alternate versions, as well as a rare BBC Radio Concert from December 1969.
The set also includes the band’s Royal Albert Hall show from December 1969, which has been remixed by Tayler in both stereo and 5.1 Surround Sound. There will also be a special version of this live performance made available on LP plus 12” vinyl – featuring three brand new remixes, cut at Abbey Road Studios.
To Our Children’s Children’s Children was the first album release by the Moody Blues on their own label, Threshold Records and covered conceptual themes such as space exploration, as the sessions took place as the Apollo 11 moon landing occurred. Indeed the album was actually listened to by astronauts on the Apollo 15 in 1971.
Watching And Waiting was released a single, while The Eyes Of A Child and Gypsy (Of A Strange And Distant Time) became popular live songs. The album reached No. 2 in the UK album chart and No. 14 in the USA.
