THE COLORADO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
The Colorado Symphony is a professional symphony orchestra located in Denver, Colorado. Established in 1989 as the successor to the Denver Symphony Orchestra, the Colorado Symphony performs in Boettcher Concert Hall, located in the Denver Performing Arts center, and throughout the Front Range, presenting education and outreach programs, as well as Masterworks, Pops, Holiday, Family, and the Inside the Score and Symphony on the Rocks series. Its current president and CEO is Jerome Kern, and the music director of the orchestra is Andrew Litton. (More from Wikipedia)
That’s what it says: The Magnificent Moodies. This record was released in 1965 and was the first album by the Moody Blues. Like many of the British Invasion bands, they started out as a crackerjack rhythm and blues band, and the U. S. release of the album has a different cover and some variation in the songs. Their next album, Days of Future Passed was completely different from The Magnificent Moodies; it is maybe the first rock album to feature a symphony orchestra (the London Festival Orchestra to be exact). The band did not tour with an orchestra though until their landmark concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in 1992 with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra.
