Today (August 28th) is the thirtieth anniversary of
The Present, the eleventh studio album from the Moody Blues. It charted at number 35 in Sweden, number 33 in Germany, number 26 in three countries (the Netherlands, New Zealand and the US Billboard 200 Album chart), number 15 in the UK, number 14 in Norway, and number 11 in Canada. The album’s cover was done as homage to Maxfield Parrish’s painting
Daybreak.
