about

"We all think of this as a Moody Blues song, that amazing early film setting out a formula for music videos to come.
It's not though, it's a cover. written by Larry Banks and Milton Bennett
I was in a band years ago who made some recording with Tony Clarke from the Moody Blues. He lived on a boat and wore sunglasses all the time. We were all really excited as Go Now was something we played a joke version of in rehearsals. We had a song with same descending chord pattern.
He was from a later era Moody Blues and clearly stated he had nothing to do with Go Now. The recordings we made didn't work out.

This version was recorded on a day filled with rain. You can hear it on the studio roof. You can also hear a robin whose singing got trapped in the echoplex whilst recording the tambura track."
