T his is the early, abortive Moody Blues, caught kneeling at the R&B altar shared by The Stones, et cetera. Surprisingly, “Go Now” (which doesn’t sound at all like the Stones really) topped the UK charts. In rich, glorious monophonic nothing it’s a little shrill to modern ears but still an undeniably catchy and, dare I say it, stirring number. They’ve even got chops; just listen to Graeme Edge’s drumming and Mike Pinder’s piano. The original B side was “It’s Easy Child,” which exists today on the expanded reissues of the band’s first elpee. In the US, listeners were treated with back-to-back hits (sort of), with their first single, “Lose Your Money,” on the flip. It’s more in line with The Stones’ brand of R&B, and features some fine harmonica playing from Ray Thomas and some lead guitar from Denny. (Error alert: the Dutch reissue of the Go Now elpee that I own lists Mike Pinder as the sole author of “Lose Your Money.”)
