Question for Moody Blues lovers. Did you ever do this?

I first started getting into The Moody Blues in the very early `70's. Just on a very casual basis. There was some kind of picnic that mom & I went to and the grove we were in was a 3 story job and some hippy chick there decided to bring her Moody Blues albums and a record player and set it up on the third floor and a bunch of the older kids would just sit on the concrete floor groovin' to the music and I kinda got into their music back then.
In `78, I got a job working at Cedar Point and I lived just outside the park (across the road from the Omnimax). Down at the end of the hall where I was living there were a group of guys all living in one room and they all loved The Moody Blues so much, they played their albums over and over again every day. Also, their album, "Octave' had just come out about 2 weeks before I got there so, I was starting to get heavily into them.
After I got back home at the end of the summer, I bought as many of their albums as I could find. "Go Now!" was the only one I had before then. Once I got all 10 of them, I recorded them to cassette in correct order and, one summer night, after dinner, decided to go up into my room and just sit there in the corner with one very dim light on and listen to all their albums (those tapes) in release order. I started around 7:30 and never stopped (except for piss breaks and to refill my root beer) until I was done with "Octave"! I had a bag of pretzel rods at my side if I got hungry. So, that'd be around 2:00 a. m.. Doing that was SO nice!! I think I did it at least another 3 or 4 times after that over the next few years, especially after each new album came out.
I don't think I've done it again since the mid `80's and just had an urge to do it again! Of course, now, it'd probably run me `til 8 or 9 a. m.!! Although, if I was to do it tomorrow, seeing as how it's winter, now and it gets dark at 5:00, I'd start it at about 3:30 p. m. and then I'd be done with it at about 5:00 a. m. and it'd still be dark out!
