"In The Beginning"/"Lovely To See You" - The Moody Blues

This is 1 of 3 "Track 1 + Track 2" combos that I have uploaded.

The album "On The Threshold Of A Dream" is 1 of several albums by the Moody Blues in which the first 2 tracks link together (no pause between songs). It is intended to be heard as if the 2 tracks are only one long song. It doesn't make sense to listen to the first track without hearing the second afterward, so this video is my way of sharing with you the way this music was intended to be heard.
The first 7 albums by the Moody Blues all have songs that connect (with the exception of the last song on side 1 and the first song on side 2).

Song Details:
"In The Beginning" = A man (Justin Hayward) questions his existance. Two other men (Graeme Edge and Mike Pinder) tell him what to do and what to think.
"Lovely To See You" = written by lead singer / guitarist Justin Hayward.

NOTE: I've found that listening to "In The Beginning" with headphones is far more interesting... plus it's easier to pick up sounds during more quiet parts of the song. Although you might jump when it gets loud all of the sudden!

The images in this video is the album artwork (outside and inside). The album is a gatefold design (not limited to the 12X12 LP jacket surface) so that when the album is opened the whole picture is revealed.

When I first started smoking grass, I listened to this with headphones on and when the electronic voice came on it scared the SHIT out of me!!

The 60's and 70's Moodies were not know as magnificient for nothing!!

Does this play with your imagination or what...the sound is so unique and intriguing...was captured at 15 and in their grip ever since <3

@FizzyDrink I'm sorry to inform you but the man doing the questioning is John Lodge and the electronic voice is Ray Thomas. Justin Hayward has a lower pitched speaking voice and Lodge's voice is higher pitched in tone. However, you're right about Mike Pinder doing the last part.

@cb800808 haha if you only knew what i meant haha. Ill secretly be a moody blues fan till the day i die but we are just too different to see each others arguements so in the words of Ron Burgondy "agree to disagree" haha. this has been however the first respectful you tube arguement in the history of the earth.
