You are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality.

A Question of Balance is the 6th album by the Moody Blues (the 5th by this particular line-up), released in 1970. The album reached No. 1 in the UK and No. 3 in the US.
The album was recorded between January and June 1970 at both Wessex Sound Studios and the band's familiar Studio One at Decca studios in West Hempstead. The sessions were a departure from their studio practice on the previous album, To Our Children's Children's Children, featuring minimal overdubs and an simpler, more natural sound that the band could more readily replicate on stage.
The album cover is a vertical gate-fold created by Phil Travers. The collage of pictures of the band in the center of the album's gate-fold was produced by projecting several images onto a single screen.
It's been certified Platinum in the US and Canada.
