When the Moody Blues were due for the box set treatment, it would have been uncharacteristic for the production to be lacking in overstated grandiosity. On that count, this four-CD retrospective does not disappoint, including the bulk of their most famous work (from their 1967-1972 albums), lots from their later records and side projects, and a few rarities. There's not a great deal of reason for anyone but fanatics to fork out for this package; the albums (which were specifically programmed to work as separate entities) remain readily available, there's too much late stuff and Hayward/Blue Jays tracks, and there's nothing from the Denny Laine era. The three non-LP 1967 cuts that open the set are available on the double import LP A Dream, an album that also has the additional 1967 B-side "Really Haven't Got the Time," which somehow doesn't make it onto Time Traveller. As consolation, the liner notes are pretty good and extensive, and the first printings of the box include a bonus disc of a 1992 concert with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra.

Bonus disc
Long Time Moody Blues Fan!
I guess I must have got one of the initial pressings because my box set
has the bonus cd! Now here's my question? Is my set re-mastered? It makes a reference
"mastered by such and such" but I've always been curious if some of the older pressings
have been re-mastered in the technical terms they use today. This whole digital
remastering confuses me at times. Well anyway it's an excellent box set and my
copy sounds pretty good; really appreciate that they didn't edit out any of the
orchestrated intros and endings to some of their earlier works. Saw them in concert
later in their careers and it was just ok! No orchestra per se and Justin's vocals
were a bit faint; now Ray still sounded incredibly good. Good listening! Great group!
Kind of wish Pinder would have stayed on board though! Personally, I liked some of his stuff!
