About
This album was originally released in vinyl in the UK in June 1978. UK/AUS'L/SWE June 1978 Decca LP/CS TXS/KTXC 129 gatefold cover, lyric insert. There was quite a gap between Seventh Sojourn (November 1972) and this album and after the band members had filled that gap with solo work, they returned to produce Octave. The album is a bit of a surprise. Not quite what Moodies Fans were used to at that time however Justin Haywards unmistakable vocals and guitar still come accross loud and clear. It has striking electric guitar rifts throughout. Driftwood appears on many of the Moodies .
