The Best Way to Travel (original) (raw)

"The Best Way to Travel" is a 1968 song by the progressive rock band the Moody Blues. Written by keyboardist Mike Pinder, it was released on the album In Search of the Lost Chord. A wide stereo panning (ping-pong stereo) effect, made by the pan pots on the Decca Studios custom-built four-track recording console (with 20 microphone inputs) used during 1967–68, is noticeable on this track. The song features Pinder on lead vocals, with Justin Hayward backing the vocals during the chorus. Pinder also plays lead acoustic guitar, with Hayward on electric guitar.
