The Move - Do Ya - 45 RPM

[youspoppa]

More cowbell! And four years before 'Don't Fear the Reaper!

[MichaelHansenFUN]

Funny thing, that THE MOVES version and ELO's version sound different, but Ace Frehley's version sounds like the ELO version!!!

[WorldChallenge]

Is this supposed to be an LP or a 45?

[Frankonino]

I think both versions are great but to me ELO is the best with the strings.

[spacepatrolman]

@Frankonino elo s version is more frantic del shannon said he like this record then jeff lynne produced a couple of his 45s that werent hits

[FinnMove]

@spacepatrolman I think this Move version is better than the later ELO on. It was strange time between Wood and Lynne those times. This last Move single was released later than the ELO debut album. The managers and directors believed that the Move had to survive until ELO will show its power and sells records on its own.

[GrayGhost8]

I had to listen to this again. Found some group called Cracker Bros. that has a song that sounds similar called Not Your Love.

You know what I remember about WABC? When I was 10, I was at summer camp and one of our counselors had a little transistor radio...because it was in the mountains we couldn't get radio stations from our home town, but we were able to pick up WABC. I remember hearing her play her radio after lights out and I heard "This is WABC, new york." I thought it was so cool that we got a radio station from New York City.

I just heard that Mike Edwards has died who played Cello in The Move and ELO from 1972 - 75. He died when a bail hay rolled down a steep hill he was driving along and landed on his roof.

[jasonlava]

What a great song!

[grod75]

@WABCRADIO77

In this tune, you can hear some of the sound that Jeff Lynne later used with the ELO =)

[tatunkha]

@grod75 this song was rerecorded by ELO :) of A New World Record Album 76'

[texs2007]

Is this edited? Or were some parts in ELO's version not written yet?

[hurricaneUK]

This was written in 1972 as part of the The Move's final release just as ELO were about to release their debut album. Once that album came out, The Move were no more.

[OldMusicOnVinyl1]

This was later done by the Electric Light Orchestra.

In other words, the Move were the godfathers of ELO. Yeah!

[newfuckingwave]

@OldMusicOnVinyl1 more like ELO was cloned in part from the DNA of the move lol

[heine71]

Later redone by Electric Light Orchestra.

[CapeRayer22]

It's Good To See You Back On The Air, Spencer. Missed Your Music!

[actionsub]

According to the record label, this was recorded in 1972, so this would have been a year or so before the formation of ELO. "A New World Record" was released in 1977.

[jwestbrook1961]

The lead vocalist does not quite sound like Jeff Lynn, though this was his original incarnation of ELO, if my memory serves right...

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

@jwestbrook1961

you are right

check wikipedia

i guess that jeff brought this from his old band, it may be on wikipedia

it is on wikipedia

this was also on the album ELO "A New World Record"

what year was THE MOVE

[jwestbrook1961]

@TEMPmichaelhansen

The copyright on that single shows 1972, but I suspect it was recorded earlier as The Electric Light Orchestra, under the same UA record label, had started releasing albums in 1972. Their first hit single, Roll Over Beethoven, was released in the fall of 1973.

[texs2007]

@jwestbrook1961 Possibly Roy Wood and Jeff both doing lead vocals.

[RegorAtalante]

@texs2007 Jeff on lead but both Jeff and Roy on the chorus.
