The Moody Blues - best known, at least in their post-Denny Laine Mk II formation, for wildly over-the-top prog-rock albums full to the brim with every instrument this side of the kitchen-sink interspersed with some great pop tunes e.g. "Nights In White Satin", "Tuesday Afternoon" and this great slice of pop-psych.
The best thing about this performance (from the 60s TV show 'Colour Me Pop', I believe) is the dapper finger-snapping, foot-shuffling Ray Thomas, who looks like he's in the wrong band completely and channeling his best Peter Wyngarde impression! Plus the fact that it starts off with 'Departure', the 1st track off 'In Search of the Lost Chord' which of course is a spoken-word dramatic piece written by the drummer (natch), Graeme Edge (he unfortunately passed away recently so R.I.P. Graeme).
