Voices in the Sky: The Best of The Moody Blues
Voices in the Sky: The Best of The Moody Blues is a greatest hits compilation for The Moody Blues, released in 1984.

At least 3 different versions of the album were released in various countries. The United Kingdom edition had 12 songs, while the United States release had only 10 in a different order. The editions released in the United States and Canada also had a different cover than the UK and European versions.

This compilation was the final release by the Moody Blues' custom label, Threshold Records.

Critical reception

Reviewing the US version, Dave Connolly of AllMusic described the album as containing songs that "[i]ndividually ... are as impressive as you remember."  However, he felt that the band essentially "had two careers ... the '60s and the '80s," and that this album "alternat[es] back and forth between the two without the proper context [which] is likely to confuse new listeners."
