| Tape of the week: my Moody Blues cassette. It holds three albums, Every Good Boy Deserves Favour, To Our Children’s Children’s Children and A Question of Balance. |
|
Press play again.
Hey now,
That’s a real tape up there. It holds three Moody Blues albums, and one song from it, “Nice To Be Here,” is this week’s deep track.
Every week we’ll open with a different tape from the collection. Some lean classic rock, some lean new wave, some lean deep psych. That range is the whole point. Got an old mixtape of your own? Hit reply with a photo of the J-card and it might be next week’s tape.

Live
Fairies Wear Boots
Black Sabbath · Paranoid, 1970 (live in Paris, 1970)
Black Sabbath in Paris in 1970, from a fan restoration of concert footage with remastered audio. It closes the Paranoid album, and it is a good way to hear the band at full volume in the same year they first hit America.

Deep track
Nice To Be Here
The Moody Blues · Every Good Boy Deserves Favour, 1971
Ray Thomas wrote it and sang it, and the idea is pure storybook, a concert played by woodland creatures. It is an album track, not a single, and it is on the tape up top. It was also our Song of the Day.

Psych nugget
I See the Light
The Five Americans · 1966
It was the most requested song in Dallas before the band even had a record in stores. The Five Americans started out as The Mutineers at a small Oklahoma college, and this one reached No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was our Song of the Day.

B Today in Rock History
On October 30, 1970, Black Sabbath played what is widely credited as their first U.S. show, at Glassboro State College in New Jersey. The band arrived late and, by most accounts, knocked out the power. Read Today in Rock History for October 30.
