When:
Short story:
UK band Kaleidoscope, in dispute with its record label, Fontana, has a meeting with The Moody Blues manager Tony Clark to discuss a possible move to Decca Records.Full article:
Peter Daltrey (Kaleidoscope) : The Moodies` second career was helped on its way by Dave Symonds championing them on his radio show. They became mates, Dave was our manager, we all became mates and had nights down the pub, nice chatty evenings at Dave`s place near Hampton Court and met up to discuss our career.
Justin was producing a guy called Timon. He supported us on a couple of gigs. We became mates. Mike Pinder had just moved into a huge house and was building a studio. He suggested we record From Home To Home there. We cut a couple of tracks but they were not quite right so the plan was abandoned. The Moodies tried to get us on to Decca and then on to Threshold. Eventually we went back to Philips, to the new progressive label, Vertigo.
The Moodies music never influenced my musical choices as it did not (and does not) appeal to me. But Dave was trying hard to push us aboard the Moodies rowing boat. Luckily we held back, preferring to make our own way down de big river of life...
