    Listened to a needledrop of this and must say it sounds absolutely lifeless. Barely anything below 200Hz on Melancholy Man, one of the best songs ever written! I would recommend getting the "This is the Moody Blues" compilation double-album instead.

      I've got the 1970 Netherlands Gatefold edition, but can't add it to a new release

          I have a copy of QofB which I cannot find an exact match for.
          It is THS 3 / XZAL.10009P / XZAL10010P. Disc and cover Made In England.
          On the disc label, 'Side 1' or 'Side 2' is printed on the inner diameter, almost adjacent to the spindle hole.
          Side 1 of the disc has 'BIEM GEMA NCB' over '1970' and Side 2 does not.
          Does anybody recognise this or have I missed it somehow as there are so many variables?
