Track 6 of 10.
The fourth and final album from The Move, Message From The Country is widely regarded as the band's best LP. It was released in October of 1971, while the band was making the transition into the Electric Light Orchestra.
At this point, only three members of The Move remained, they are Roy Wood, Jeff Lynne and Bev Bevan. Roy Wood takes credit for the cover art yet again.
This is my favourite album by The Move. The title track is my favourite song, with The Words of Aaron coming in at a close second. Do enjoy this lovely album!
Awesome bass sound... going to get some Rotos for my Jazz bass tomorrow!!

notahemi, the bass is as follows:
Fender Jazz bass with Rotosound Roundwound strings, he is using a pick and has a good amount of treble on his amp. I went to a video & confirmed my suspect for I am a bassist. That is the tone you are hearing.
The intro is a nylon string acoustic guitar and not a mandolin. I play them both.

Does it get anymore counterpoint.
Like sweet and salty.
Opens with a uke and right into a fuzzy heavy base line.

Opens with something like a mandolin.
And right into a fuzzy base line.

"It's hard to get up in the morning
No matter who who you're working for
But you'll find a way when the landlord's knocking on your door"
Love it.
