The Moody Blues - Nights In White Satin b/w Cities, Days Of Future Passed, 1967, Deram Records, London Records, Tro-Essex Music Inc.
An absolutely beautiful composition. Written by lead vocalist Justin Hayward at the tender age of 19, Nights In White Satin is a legend of unrequited love.
While the single was edited for time, this {2nd} edit does the song justice. The full album version contains an orchestral piece performed by the London Festival Orchestra, as well as a “Late Lament” spoken-word poem written by drummer Graeme Edge - which was spoken by keyboardist Mike Pinder.
