To Our Children’s Children’s Children 50th Anniversary Edition: 4CD + Blu-Ray

£71.99

Release date: 12 May, 2023

Issued in November 1969, “To Our Children’s Children’s Children” was the first album release by the Moody Blues on their own label, Threshold Records. Regarded as one of the finest of their so-called “classic seven” albums, the record covered conceptual themes such as space exploration (as the sessions took place as the Apollo 11 moon landing occurred). With such classic tracks as “Watching and Waiting”, “Gypsy”, “Beyond” and “Eternity Road”, the album was a number 2 hit in the UK and reached Gold status in the USA.

This deluxe edition features the remastered original stereo mix, along with new stereo and 5.1 Surround Sound mixes by Stephen W. Tayler who has also remixed a legendary performance at the Royal Albert Hall in December 1969 in both stereo and 5.1 Surround Sound which features in this set on both CD and a Blu Ray disc. Also included is a rare BBC Radio Concert from December 1969.
