1967 Special - Justin Hayward of The Moody Blues

Johnnie Walker's Long Players Series 8
Episode 2 of 4

Johnnie talks to Justin Hayward about an album, and some of the singles and Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ sessions, which changed everything for a band he had recently joined in 1967 - The Moody Blues.

This is the second of our special 1967 themed edition of Johnnie Walker's Long Players.

Johnnie talks to the legendary Justin Hayward about an album, and some of the singles and Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ sessions around it, which changed everything for a band he had recently joined in 1967 - The Moody Blues, plus a composition which could be one of the most recognisable and best loved signature songs in the world.

Johnnie hears about lots of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ sessions, a new instrument, the Mellotron, a change in direction, the advent of stereo sound and a record company demonstration disc - all of all which led to a collaboration with an orchestra and the resulting concept album Days Of Future Passed.
