By the late 1960s, the band — anchored by Justin Hayward, John Lodge, Mike Pinder, Ray Thomas, and Graeme Edge — had pioneered a sweeping fusion of rock, orchestral arrangements, and introspective lyricism that would define the progressive and art rock movements. Their landmark 1967 album \u003cem\u003eDays of Future Passed\u003c\/em\u003e, recorded with the London Festival Orchestra, set the template for a string of conceptually rich, sonically lush records that earned them a devoted global following and a lasting place in rock history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout This Album\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased in 1974 on their own Threshold Records imprint, \u003cem\u003eThis Is The Moody Blues\u003c\/em\u003e is a definitive double-LP retrospective spanning the band's golden era from 1967 to 1972.
