There were a plenty of personalities
in the early Move.
After that it changed more and more
a group which stayed only in a studio.
Submitted by Anonimous
Well i think it was the no-touring (which also hut The Kinks in the 60s) and perhaps that they were "Too British". Same thing happened to Pul recently...radio programmers thought they were so English, yanks couldnt relate.

Love Roy's Knights Templar shirt! I was so very very young when I saw this on totps.... around the time I was watching Bill & Ben the flowerpot men. Listening back now I'm more impressed than ever before with the novel Beach Boy type siren sound in the backing vocals, and the Eddie Cochrane guitar riff. Super super stuff! And to think these guys came from the same time and turf as Black Sabbath!!! Weird weird! Thanks for the memories.

Perfect pop.

This is their Top Of The Pops Performance from 1968, mimed of course. Last song which features Ace Kefford on bass before The Move released a couple of singles that flopped and first song where Roy sings the lead. Most of these Top Of The Pops performances from the sixties were recorded over in the seventies due to high cost of film at the time, shame. What an era of talent!!
Submitted by Anonimous
I've never heard of them. Did they play in a lock-up in Hackney to a couple of old men and a mangy dog. The Move, Wizard and Roy Wood were successful chart artists.

I have a lot of Move recordings since about 25 years ago, and I always found them interesting and odd. certainly very different from anything heard in the US. Aa a criticism, however, I can see that some of the songs are annoyingly cute and also a lot of the lyrics really stretch to be unusual, not always with good aesthetic results.

Submitted by Anonimous
Perhaps it is more commonly called "lip synching" but isnt't "lip singing" just as accurate since we are simply making up a term?
In other words the lips move but no sound comes out. No air is moved by the diapram to the resonators. :-$

So how can you make your original comment if you don't know about these bands? Punk didn't start in 1976 i'm afraid...try ten years earlier.
The Move are a great band i agree.
Submitted by Anonimous
the most fascinating thing about the move is how they got faamous in the 60s-thanks to their manager Tony Segunda, who gave them their break. the move were notorious for stunts: donning gangasters' outfits, trashing Tv sets and signing their contract on the bared back of an almost nude model. Carl has ackonwledged the importance of the manager in their success.

Carl Wayne r.i.p

That would be guitarist Trevor Burton who changed to the bass after the blonde dude next to him, Ace Kelford, left the band due to an acid induced nervous breakdown (like Syd Barrett of Floyd, like Peter Green of Mac, and the list goes on).
Submitted by Anonimous
No, not necessarily, I assume you speak the same way as you type..so therefore " learn to type English " is quite an acceptable thing to type/say.
But...if it makes you happy, we'll say you win , or should that be..I'll " type " you win ?

Nah, that'd be Ace "The Face" Kefford, greatest bass player ever

I got a remastered version of their debut album for Xmas and I've been listening to it in the car for the last week. I think because the sun has been out that it's helping- perfect sunshine pop music. Love it!!

I knew Cheap Trick was REALLY influenced by the Move, but knew nothing about them. My God, when I discovered this song about a year ago, I was blown away. I'm 44- Iknow it all. Weren't they kind of hated in England? why? They took everything that was really good about british pop rock and and left out the fat.

Submitted by Anonimous
they only toured in the states once, I believe, and I think even that was an opening slot, Hendrix maybe? Wood and Burton sang on "Axis Bold As Love".
I remember hearing "Cherry Blossonm Clinic" and "Fire Brigade" a lot in the 70s on "hip" FM stations, but they were mainly known for being "the band that turned into ELO".

the move were at their height when i had just started school yet i loved their music, i know it is nostalgia but i still think their music holds up really well-albeit as an example of late 60's psychadelia.
i still listen to them on their greatest hits cd, available at all great music stores-not 'arf!

Submitted by Anonimous
Yes, they were an incredibly talented yet rather underrated/unsung group, because everyone 45 and upwards will have heard at least a couple of their songs growing up yet if you mention to many of them "The Move" the chances are you will get a blank expression, they know the songs but don't know the singers.

Where see you Ringo Starr??? It's Bev Beven on drumms!
Submitted by Anonimous
Couple of flops and that was all??
Their next single after this was a flop, but then they made Blackberry Way which was their only UK to number 1. Trevor Burton then left, complaining they were too 'pop', but they went on to have more hits. Curly got to 12 with Rick Price on bass. Carl Wayne then left and was replaced by Jeff Lynne with whom they had 3 more top ten hits (Brontosaurus, Tonight and California Man) which were released to finance the ELO project. (What became of them??)

Bevan looks like he's 12 hahaha Awesome

Re; dball111
My wife "Diane Ball" suggested I play this track in rock'n roll solo show in club and publand.
It was her favorite tune whilst doing her A Levels in 68.
She gave it a "5" star rating, and I must admit after hearing it several times, I tend to agree, but what a co-incidence the name dball left the last comment.
Whoever you are dball111, you have great taste...

One of the best records in the 60s. I love this band. The guitarist is the amazing Trevor Burton, bass is by the god-like icon legend Ace Kefford, and the (soon to be solo and famous) Roy Wood, looking like Free's Andy Fraser here, sings this. Drums by soon to be ELO kit master Bev Bevan. The late Carl Wayne singing the tight harmonies here.nIf yer not into The Move, you've missed Rock N Roll at it's best. Sorry for ya. This it top!

Re the queries as to whether they're playing live or not: as this was Top Of The Pops, they'd have been singing live, but miming the backing, which was pre-recorded. BBC used to try to pretend the whole thing was live. Then one fine day, they had Jimi Hendrix set to launch into Purple Haze ... and the pre-recorded backing track that started to play was "House That Jack Built" by the Alan Price Set!! Our Jimi allegedly stood there confused, muttering "don't know that one, man".

From a purely technical songwriting perpective this has got to be a song with one of the cleverest lyric ever written. It relates the love for a woman to the fire service. Incredible!!! If I'd not heard this I would not have believed these could be married. Well done Roy Wood. Quite brilliant.
