The Moody Blues - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: 1968-1969

This is the third out of four albums of the Moody Blues playing at the BBC.

This was a fairly straight-forward album to make. There is an official BBC album called "Live at the BBC, 1967-1970." All but two of the songs here come from that. 

Note the lack of "[Edit]" notations in the song titles, which means I didn't have to edit any of these to removing BBC DJs talking over the music. I suppose the Moody Blues were generally hosted by the more FM-styled DJs that didn't like to talk over the music, compared to the AM-styled ones who did.

However, this isn't entirely from that official BBC album. Two songs here, "Om" and "The Best Way to Travel" come from a different source. In 1968, the band played on a short-lived BBC TV show called "Colour Me Pop." They played seven songs on that show, but I've only included the two songs that they didn't play elsewhere on this album. Those come from the "Timeless Flight" box set, but only on the DVD portion of it.

UPDATE: On June 12, 2022, I updated the mp3 download file. The last few songs had been from a 1969 BBC concert. I removed those, and put them on "Volume 4," which now consists entirely of that concert. Instead, I added a version of "Nights in White Satin" that was played on a Tom Jones TV show. I also added a bonus track, "The Morning: Another Morning," which is the other song played on that show. It's only a bonus track because another version, actually done for the BBC, is on this album.

Additionally, I moved some songs that had been on the next volume of this series to this album, so its length is about the same as it was before.

This album is 36 minutes long, not including the bonus track.

The cover art photo comes from 1969. If you look at their ultra-psychedelic cover photo from Volume 2, I think it's interesting how drastically they changed again, dropping that look entirely in favor of "normal" clothes.
