The Magnificent Moodies was a 1966 album released in the UK which featured the Moody Blues' pre-psychedelic era lineup of guitarist Denny Laine, bassist Clint Warwick, keyboardist Mike Pinder, flute player/percussionist Ray Thomas, and drummer Graeme Edge. For the U.S. release (under the title Go Now--The Moody Blues #1), four songs were replaced and the tracks repositioned (see below). Laine and Warwick left the group in 1966, and were replaced by guitarist Justin Hayward and bassist John Lodge. The Magnificent Moodies is a collection of R&B based songs, including the hit cover of "Go Now". In 2006, it was released as CD with 7 new bonus tracks.
