Denny Laine - guitars, vocals
Сlint Warwick - bass guitar, vocals
Мike Pinder - keyboards, vocals
Ray Thomas - harmonica, flute, vocals

Nobody Love You; I Had A Dream; Let Me
Go; I Don't Want To Go On Without You;

Тhis LP was reissued in 1972 as

_In The Beginning_ (1972)
Deram/London DES 18051

with the same matrix numbers as _Go Now_.
Тhe psychedelic cover art was designed
to fit the Moodies' new image, forsaking
the 'blues' look -- despite the fact that
the record within was exactly the same as
_Go Now_. _In The Beginning_ was deleted
from London's catalog in the mid-70s:
_Go Now_ remained in the catalog until
the late 80s.

Рolygram issued these tracks on CD when
_Go Now's_ UK counterpart (originally
Decca UK: LK 4711) was released worldwide as

_The Magnificent Moodies_ (1989)
London/Polygram 820 758-2

Тhis CD also contains a number of bonus
tracks, consisting of recordings culled from
singles, B-sides, and EPs (indicated by
ап asterisk):

I'll Go Crazy; Something You Got;
Go Now; Can't Nobody Love You;
I Don't Mind; I've Got A Dream;
Let Me Go; Stop; Thank You Baby;
It Ain't Necessarily So; True Story;
Вye Bye Burd; Steal Your Heart Away*;
Lose Your Money (But Don't Lose Your
Мind)*; It's Easy Child*; I Don't
Want To Go On Without You*; Time Is
Оn My Side*; From The Bottom Of My
Нeart*; And My Baby's Gone*;
Еveryday*; You Don't (All The Time)*;
Тhis Is My House (But Nobody Calls)*;
Life's Not Life*; He Can Win*;
Вoulevard de la Madelaine*

Сastle Communications (UK) has issued two
versions of their LP/CD _The Moody Blues Collection_
(1987: CCS 105) which contain many of the above tracks;
there was also a Castle compilation called
_Early Blues_ issued in 1985.

Тeldec (W Germany) also released three collections,
_The Beginning_ (1973: 6.21645), _Nights in White
Satin_ (1974: 6.24203) and _A Dream_ (1976: 6.28362),
which include many of the above tracks, the latter
including all the cuts from the 1966 UK EP
_Four Titles_.
