The single charted for one week on the BILLBOARD Hot 100 at #98 and was a decent snapshot of Winter ’66, basically dreary and cold, just as I vividly remember it and personally preferred.ĭreary and cold, or dark and downbeat were indeed the sounds de jour. I heard it often at both my local Top 40′s in Syracuse. ‘Stop’ received confident airplay throughout the northeast upon release. The US album version was similar but didn’t included ‘Stop!’, presumably because American label London spotted the track as a potential hit. ‘Stop!’, a US only 7″, was taken from the Denny Cordell produced debut UK LP and their only full length with lineup one. All of them should command more worth, being pressed in very limited quantities. The hits disappeared quickly after their second 7″, ‘Go Now’, although the quality of singles did not. But singer Denny Laine was special, and had an authentic, recognizable voice. Not surprisingly, the band were recycling US blues and RnB, not unlike most other collectible UK acts during the mid 60′s. It’s where the collectible piece is baffling. I guess the mainstream success of Moody Blues lineup two unfairly squashed that.īut still, lineup one, well that was a very different sounding group and should be a very different story. When it comes to vinyl or artifacts, oddly, The Moody Blues are not a collectible band.
