The Moody Blues
uncredited writer, Beat Instrumental, June 1970
THE SUMMER of 1967 will always be remembered by many as the time when a lot of very good things began to happen. Certainly there was a great deal of excitement in the musical world with groups like Family, Soft Machine, and Pink Floyd surfacing from the underworld with a new and exciting sound. 1967 was also an important year for the Moody Blues the year they began to take off.
