The Move: Wild Tiger Woman

[lyonslaforet]

One of my favorite songs by the Move!

[Gooseberry51]

Always loved the sound of the solo guitar... nice tune too

[pango2344]

the "wild tiger woman" shown behind The Move is the gorgeous Gaye Rennie, Miss April 1968...

[hoknes]

what magazine was she in ?

[moxie96]

@hoknes playboy and probably the uk version.

[ppaulmorris]

Cracking song.

[mokele666]

Piano player is Nicky Hopkins.

[Krzyszczynski]

Seems to be a piano somewhere in the backing - wonder who played it?

[JeffELOLynne]

Probably Bill Hunt

[FinnMove]

The Move made only two singles which

not charted. This one and When Alice Comes back to the Farm. Though they

were good songs too.

I saw the latest Move CD boxset.A shame they cuoldn't have included a dvd with The Move's

TV/Live performances.

Reminds me of an Idle Race song.  Wonder which one came first?

[FinnMove]

It is said that song is Days of the Broken

Arrows. And some guitar- riffs are very

much alike. This came about summer 1968 and Idle Race song in spring 1969.

Wood and Lynne spent much time together

already those days though they were

in several groups until Lynne joined

The Move early 1970.

I understand this song went nowhere in the charts!

An example that the 60's music buyers were just as fickle as todays!.

[FinnMove]

I think Wild Tiger Woman was not commercial enough. The B- side Omnibus would have been more suitable to the major audience who decide which song makes charts and which not.

[neohip]

No I don't accept that.

To my ears,it is no less commercial,but perhaps more reflective of the Zeitgeist than it's predecessor "Fire Brigade".

I loved and sang to myself all the hits when i discovered them aged 6.When I found this one,aged 15,it was like finding a long lost brother.

BTW,anyone who likes "Eagle" is fine by me!.

[FinnMove]

Thanks for you friendly comments !

I have seen beautiful pictures of your country, never seen a normal person.

I like all this stuff Move, Idle Race and Move. Do you know where Finland is located ?

[trapper2]

Thanks for this, never saw anything on this lost piece. Carl Wayne; such a great talent, anyone notice how Trevor Burton looks like the guy from 70s show.

Cheers
