the album, plus two singles therefrom, "nights in white satin" and "tuesday afternoon" (as a medley with "forever afternoon," listed as "forever afternoon (tuesday?)" on the album), took time to find an audience. in the moody blues' native britain, the two singles from the album didn't initially catch on; "nights in white satin" made only no. 19 on the british singles chart in early 1968, and "tuesday afternoon" didn't chart at all. however, the british public learned to appreciate "nights in white satin" subsequently; it made no. 9 on the uk singles chart on re-issue in december 1972 and no. 14 on the charts on another reissue at the end of 1979, and is now regarded as the moody blues signature song by british audiences. in the us, "nights in white satin" did not make the "billboard" hot 100 in 1968, although it reached no. 2 on re-release in 1972; "tuesday afternoon" was more successful on initial release stateside, peaking at no. 24 on the billboard hot 100.
