THE MOODY BLUES’
THE POLYDOR YEARS 1986-1992
TO BE RELEASED ON NOVEMBER 24
Los Angeles, CA -- Due for release on November 24, the superbly packaged eight disc (six CDs and two DVDs) set brings together, for the first time, remastered editions of all The Moody Blues’ Polydor era albums, spanning the period 1986-1992. The package - The Polydor Years 1986-1992 - includes 17 bonus tracks, 11 of which are being released for the first time, including a 1991 BBC radio session.
The set also includes a previously unreleased concert recording from the group’s July 1986 appearance in Cleveland, Ohio, during their “Other Side of Life” tour, and a fully remastered edition of the September 1992 “Red Rocks” concert with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra.
The DVD features the newly remastered and previously long-time unavailable release of the “Night at Red Rocks” concert, plus the rare, fan club-only documentary “The Other Side of Red Rocks.” Housed in a slipcase with an accompanying 64-page hardbound book, the entire set is topped off with the inclusion of a 7” blue vinyl single of “Al Fin Voy A Encontrate,” the rare Spanish version of “I Know You’re Out There Somewhere.”
The Moody Blues have been at the forefront of the classic rock music scene for more than 40 years, and have continued to be a mainstay of concert stages, recording studios and the airwaves to the present day. During their immensely successful career, they have sold millions of albums worldwide, and have been the recipients of numerous prestigious awards.
During the latter half of the 1980s, The Moody Blues continued to enjoy huge success, particularly in the U.S., largely due to the release of their hit album, “The Other Side of Life”and its massive hit single, “Your Wildest Dreams.” At the time, the group embraced the then burgeoning video age, and made a series of music videos, which gained them heavy airplay on MTV, which in turn built them a large new audience.
The Polydor Years 1986-1992 celebrates this exciting and developmental period in the career of The Moody Blues.
