7/14/2016 Every Good Boy Deserves Favour (album) ­ Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Every Good Boy Deserves Favour (album) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Every Good Boy Deserves Favour is the seventh album by The Moody Blues, released in 1971. Every Good Boy Deserves Favour This album featured the only track to be written by all five members of the band. The opening "Procession" was a piece that was intended to describe the history of music from the beginning of time until the album's recording. The only three words heard in this track – "desolation," "creation," and "communication" – were similarly used (along with many other "­ation" words) in "One More Time to Live." The album reached #1 on the British album charts, in addition to a three­week stay at #2 in the United States, and produced one top­40 single, "The Story in Your Eyes." The track "Emily's Song" was written by John Lodge for his newborn daughter. Studio album by The Moody Blues Mike Pinder wrote and sang the album's concluding track "My Song". Released 23 July 1971 Recorded November 1970 – March 1971 at The title is taken from the student mnemonic for the lines of the Wessex Sound Studios, London treble clef: E­G­B­D­F. These notes are heard played on piano during "Procession." Genre Progressive rock Length 40:05 The album was the last to feature the Mellotron as the sole tape­ driven instrument, as it would be utilized in conjunction with the Label Threshold Records Chamberlin (another device that uses recorded tape to generate Producer Tony Clarke sound) on the Moody Blues' next studio album, 1972's Seventh The Moody Blues chronology Sojourn. The album was mixed and released in both stereo and quadraphonic. In April 2007 the album was remastered into A Question of Every Good Boy Seventh Sojourn SACD format and repackaged with the two extra tracks.
