The Moody Blues - In Search of the Lost Chord

The release of In Search of the Lost Chord was the second album since the Moody Blues changed direction, following on from Days of Future Passed. This was the group's contribution to English psychedelia. 

The album starts with a spoken introduction (not quite Stanley Unwin) before moving into the up-tempo Ride My See-Saw. This track was recorded for the BBC's Colour Me Pop and is regularly broadcast as part of the Sounds of the 60s series.

Voices in the Sky became a hit single. On the album it forms part of a trilogy alongside Visions of Paradise and The Best Way to Travel.
