		_In The Beginning_  (1972)
			Deram/London DES 18051

			with the same matrix numbers as _Go Now_.
			Âhe psychedelic cover art was designed 
			to fit the Moodies' new image, forsaking
			the 'blues' look -- despite the fact that
			the record within was exactly the same as
			_Go Now_.  _In The Beginning_ was deleted
			from London's catalog in the mid-70s:
			_Go Now_ remained in the catalog until
			the late 80s.

			Àolygram issued these tracks on CD when 
			_Go Now's_ UK counterpart (originally
			Decca UK: LK 4711) was released worldwide as

		_The Magnificent Moodies_  (1989)
			London/Polygram 820 758-2

			Âhis CD also contains a number of bonus 
			tracks, consisting of recordings culled from 
			singles, B-sides, and EPs (indicated by 
			Ðß asterisk):

				I'll Go Crazy;  Something You Got;
				Go Now;  Can't Nobody Love You;
				I Don't Mind;  I've Got A Dream;
				Let Me Go;  Stop;  Thank You Baby;
				It Ain't Necessarily So;  True Story;
				²ye Bye Burd;  Steal Your Heart Away*;
				Lose Your Money (But Don't Lose Your
				¼ind)*;  It's Easy Child*;  I Don't
				Want To Go On Without You*;  Time Is
				¾n My Side*;  From The Bottom Of My 
				½eart*;  And My Baby's Gone*;  
				µveryday*;  You Don't (All The Time)*;
				Âhis Is My House (But Nobody Calls)*;
				Life's Not Life*;  He Can Win*;
				²oulevard de la Madelaine*

			Áastle Communications (UK) has issued two
			versions of their LP/CD _The Moody Blues Collection_
			(1987: CCS 105) which contain many of the above tracks;
			there was also a Castle compilation called
			_Early Blues_ issued in 1985.
			
			Âeldec (W Germany) also released three collections,
			_The Beginning_ (1973: 6.21645), _Nights in White
			Satin_ (1974: 6.24203) and _A Dream_ (1976: 6.28362), 
			which include many of the above tracks, the latter
