2. Lovely To See You Again ****
A rousing Justin Hayward song with happy sentiments sung by voicesin unison. This is accompanied by chiming guitars and the MoodyBlues familiar 'wall of sound'
3. Dear Diary ****

I first bought this it in its original incarnation 40 years ago and well remember periods of reverie submerged under its hypnotic effects. I had not listened to this album for several years but I have to admit that I was pleasantly by how well this remastering has "polished up". Maybe it didn't produce quite the same "buzz" in me today as it ...
