5 stars If you have this recording then you need to have the re-mastered version..This may represent the best example of a dramatic and proper re-mastering that exists today. I find this re-mastered version much brighter and clearer than previous CD transfer attempts.in fact there is almost no hiss at all..But enough of the free promotion here. "Days Of Future Passed" is one of the first true progressive rock recordings of all time..not to mention one of the greatest as well. The MOODY BLUES mix heavy orchestral arrangements with some truly amazing song writing. The Mellotron is really introduced to the world here and used throughout sounding just superb with the orchestra led intro's and conclusions. For those who may not be all that familiar with this recording it does contain several big time MOODY BLUES hits including "Night In White Satin". The MOODY BLUES attempted to create one of the first concept like recordings ever having written songs which attemot to reflect the mood of a passing day. In my mind this album works as well as "Sgt Pepper" and early FLOYD offerings. This recording is a true classic and is essential in all good collections.
