Fans of the Moody Blues hungry for the band's intoxicatingly rich arrangements and soaring melodies need look no further than this terrific compilation. What it lacks in depth this collection makes up for in breadth, spanning the band's 30-year history of hits from "Tuesday Afternoon (Forever Afternoon)" to "Your Wildest Dreams". Featuring some of Justin Hayward and John Lodge's best songwriting and packed with performances truly worthy of the superlative adjective greatest, this collection of hits delivers the goods. --L A Smith

Great CD, worth every penny September 24, 2003

[One CD, with a running time of 78:22] This collection of Moody Blues hits would better be called, "The Moody Blues Through The Years." The songs run from their early Go Now (1964), through I Know You're Out There Somewhere (1988). Along the way, we get the touching Isn't Life Strange, the haunting Forever Autumn, the radiant The Voice, and many other great songs.My one and only complaint is that Nights In White Satin is included without Graeme Edge's spellbinding poem Late Lament. I have always found that poem to be a fantastic epilogue to the song. But that's such a minor complaint. This is a great CD, and well worth the money. By the way, the sleeve includes a one or two-sentence story of each song, and a conversation between John Reed and Justin Hayward, which tells the story of the band. Nice bonus!
Just the essentials March 27, 2003

This compilation includes all the essential Moody blues tracks from their first UK sixties hit (Go now) to the eighties (I know you’re out the somewhere), plus Blue guitar and Forever autumn, two hits that Justin Hayward had without the Moody blues. Among the classics here are Nights in white satin, Ride my see-saw, Voices in the sky, Question, Story in your eyes and Isn’t life strange. Such is the legacy of the Moody blues that there is only room for the essentials on a single CD. I bought the double CD, singles+, instead. It contains all the tracks here and much else besides. Before you decide to buy this, I suggest you check that collection, which I’ve already reviewed.

The Very Best? March 11, 2010

I bought this CD for my girlfriend, not expecting to enjoy it. I was at the first "Farewell" gig for the Moodies, at The Rainbow, Finsbury Park, in the middle of the punk explosion. I slept through it!
Anyway, this is a great CD. I'd forgotten how many classic tracks they've recorded. My girlfriend was a bit disappointed that "Days of Future Past" wasn't included.
