I sang these as covers when Iwas young with seMi-pro band the Triffiks. Tango our lead singr took a break and played bas on this. saw the MOve live once too. Those days were fun!!!
@pirate072 Wood was the driving force behind ELO. Early stuff like 10538 Overture was quite heavy. When Jeff Lynne took over, the group went in a lighter, more commercial, direction, while Roy Wood started Wizzard.
The video is spoilt by the large `bathsideboy `displayed - it`s not as if your the copyright holder is it ! These videos are posted elsewhere without this spoiler
It hardly spoils the video - it's tiny! Talk about nit-picking, anyway, I'm looking for a promo I saw as a kid for "Flowers in the Rain" where he's in some kind of asylum - hope I didn't imagine it!
I saw that promo too - it was a short series by Dave Lee Travis of modern videos made to old songs. Also in there was Fire by Arthur Brown, Terry by Crystal, Bend Me Shape Me by Amen Corner and quite a few others now lost in the haze of my memory! If anyone has this on tape I would love to see it on Youtube. Does anyone else remember this and other bands that were on?
I did a bit of digging - and found it was called The Golden Oldie Picture Show, (which I remembered when I heard it), but not been able to track down any Video/DVD copies. Pity they don't repeat things like that instead of the modern garbage they put on the box these days!
@bathsideboy Roy was a genius but can you explain what is so good about Flowers in the Rain? Don't like the melody much but maybe the lyrics are an answer to some Beatles song and I missed something? Now Blackberry Way is damn great.
1967-2008 = 41 year. The Songs of Roy Wood should live for at least 400 years. Maybe then the Flowers on Blackberry Way have had their fill of rain from the Fire Brigade? Or maybe not? 3 gems. Listen to "Curly" too, one of Wood´s most beautiful and underrated songs.
Don't ask but I love this song lol

Major talent in the raw here! The Move was considered a supergroup, and Roy Wood went on to invent the Electric Light Orchestra.

A fair comment. My logo was intended to be a fly-in/out which I forgot to do before rendering.
