Re: [newmellotrongroup]Moody Blues

2007-12-16 by trolldelux

I found that song on YouTube a while ago.  It sounds like the real 
deal to me; from both the application of mellotron/chamberlin and the 
drum work.  The drumming sounds (to me) very much like Greame Edge of 
the early 70's.  

I had a copy of 'Blue Jays' (now lost), where Hayward and Lodge tried 
to keep working after '74.  The sound is very MoodyBlues-lite, but 
showed the sensitivity of the old Moodies to personnel changes.  That 
makes it hard for me to believe "Islands" is a Hayward solo effort.  

Does anybody here actually know the pedigree of that song?
