1967: The Moody Blues released their second studio album, Days of Future Passed. While facing financial difficulties due to a lack of critical and commercial success, the Moody Blues’ label, Deram Records, offered the band the chance to record a stereo album that combined their music with an orchestra. The resulting fusion has since been considered one of the first examples of progressive rock. The concept LP reached #27 in the UK and made it to #3 on the Billboard pop chart in the US. On the same day, the first single from the album, “Nights in White Satin,” was also released. It became the group’s highest-charting US single and their only #1 on the Cash Box chart, though it wasn’t until the record was reissued in 1972 that it reached #9 in the UK and #2 in the US. It was the first significant chart entry by the group since “Go Now” in 1964 as well as the first chart success since their recent lineup change, in which Justin Hayward and John Lodge joined the group after the departure of vocalist Denny Laine.

1975: Neil Young released his seventh studio album, Zuma. It was his first album with a new version of his backing band Crazy Horse, which added new guitarist Frank Sampedro after the death of Danny Whitten in 1972. The Crazy Horse lineup of Sampedro, bassist Billy Talbot, and drummer Ralph Molina remained stable until 2018.

1978: Queen released their seventh studio album, Jazz.
