Better late than never. In 1987, the Moodies released their own Coda/Odds n' Sods. Five tracks were previously included in as the fourth side of the double Caught Live +5 album. Other than the closing Late Lament, the rest found album release for the first time and both sets (the +5 and the newly released tracks) are all excellent. We see that Justin Hayward was a fully mature songwriter even pre-Nights in White Satin, with outstanding cuts like Fly Me High, Cities, Long Summer Days, and the positively devastating King and Queen.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
