Mellotronists

Dr. Merbler,

Justin Hayward recorded "London Is Behind Me" 
after he parted ways with Marty Wilde but before 
he auditioned for the Moody Blues.  I believe it 
was recorded in 1965.  Here is a link to a clip of 
the original recording:

If our 25-year-old friend does cover "Day Must Come", 
"I'll Be Here Tomorrow" and especially "I Can't Face 
The World Without You" (the three other songs Justin 
Hayward recorded before he joined the Moodies) in that 
Moody-esque 1968 sound, I'd like to hear those, too.  
We can only hope he will.
