AMG Review of Chronicles

Steve Leggett
All Music Guide

Chronicles brings together the first three orchestral pop albums of the Moody Blues -- 1967's Days of Future Passed, 1968's In Search of the Lost Chord, and 1969's On the Threshold of a Dream -- in a single box set. No bonus tracks have been added, no extra remastering has been done, and there is no additional annotation of any kind, so unless you like having the CDs stored in a tall box, the single-disc albums are probably still the way to go, since they at least have jewel cases.
