I have a soft spot for "Nights in White Satin" apart from the fact it's a great song. It was a record I slow danced with Sarah Land, then an object of many a 2nd year boy's desires, to at her house party which led to awkward but blissful snogging and huge cred points at school the following week. It didn't last, but these torrid affairs rarely do.

It's a great double CD set, superbly sequenced (in some ways better than the original records), and it's only £6.48 on Amazon at the moment.
Not really delved into the Moody's so might give that a nibble at some point.

Hey! Serendipity strikes. I'd ordered the remaining five remastered cds of the classic seven, and they were all waiting for me at the library this afternoon. A visit to Holland and Barratt was also necessary. I'm gonna kick back tonight and look at the inside from the outside.

Ha! Well yes I saw them a few times in the pre Punk era and really liked them. What may suprise you more is that "Coasting" off of "Within Reach" was a Chill Out staple in Ibiza (if only briefly) a few years back. I still see it on a few playlists.
As the Lester Bangs character says in Almost Famous "The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what we share with someone else when we're uncool". Don't come more uncool than the "O Band".

No, didn't know that re the chill out. Bit of a surprise!
I was about to ask if anyone could confirm that they played OGWT. Just googled it and apparently they were on the same ep as Lennon.

Very little information on this site unfortunately. If I find my notes and get the time I should be able to add to that a bit.
