"On this CD, Justin Hayward sings the lead vocals on six of the tracks, and those six make this CD worth it. The other singers are awful, so just skip those tracks and enjoy Justin singing rare new and beautifully orchestrated Moodies hits like "In My World" and "Blue World" and "Running Water". All six songs are those that you'll rarely hear him sing live. This was all recorded back in 1994, and at first, Justin's people said that Justin was tricked into doing the lead vocals. Originally brought on to do "backing tracks" for other singers, Hayward was initially shocked that the disc was released with his vocals dominant on six songs. In fact, the vocals do seem a bit soft and whimpy for Justin, hence the original backing tracks. Still, the companies worked something out, and the last I heard was that Justin was "ok" with the project. A good buy for any Moodies/Justin Hayward fan."

All these stars go to Justin.

"I have the 'other' CD that another reviewer has, the red & black cover CD. This one has four more tracks than the other one, but yes.. Justin's singing on the CD takes the cake, the other two are just horrible. If you're an avid Moody Blues fan, you should buy it anyway, Justin's on it. :)"

"I must say that ALL the songs sung by Justin are EXCELLENT. So teh four satrs go all to him! However, the other people who are singing on teh CD are terrible. Buy the CD for Justin. Rumor has it that Justin himself has NEVER gotten paid for this CD. But it is OK."
