These Moody Blues SACD's were transferred from the Quad mixes done in the 70's. They are NOT 5.1 - The center channel speaker has no signal, even though they call it 5.1 and the center channel speaker light comes on, the center speaker is silent. However, the original quad mixes by Derek Varnals were excellent with great use of the surrounds as a source of backup vocals, acoustic guitar, split double lead guitars, mellotron and even lead vocal on occasion. It is unfortunate that Lodge's bass was recorded so badly and these mixes cannot correct that, but with a bit of tweaking, you can make the bass legible. You really need to get these if you're a Moodies fan.
This SACD version of a Moody Blues classic sounds great in my opinion.

I decided to purchase this SACD as I have always enjoyed this album on vinyl. I was quite disappointed with the over-all tonal balance which lacks warmth and presence but exudes a hefty bottom and accentuated highs. There just isn't enough 'meat' in the mid-range compared to the original vinyl recording for my taste. There are a few cuts that shine above the rest but generally speaking, the album sounds tampered with and veiled.
