Sadly, only one track has survived (so far) from The Moody Blues from this session. This one from the BBC program Saturday Club and a live version of their first worldwide hit, Go Now.
Years before they recorded their landmark Days Of Future Passed album, they were part of that first wave of the British Invasion, very much in the mold of many bands from that period. Their material was heavily influenced by Soul and R&B from the States. In fact, Go Now was originally recorded by Bessie Banks in 1964 who had a minor hit with it in January of that year. But The Moody Blues picked it up later that year, and the rest was history.
Here is the live session version of that song, as they performed it on April of 1965. A little over 3 minutes, but worth every second of it.
