Carl Wayne was an incredible vocalist!

[LBrilliante]

absolutely.. I read that by this point, Roy Wood was already collaborating with Jeff Lynne who was at this point in The Idle Race. You can hear that driving rhythym and melody that Lynne would use for "Turn to Stone" and "Sweet Talking Woman" ... but this one just takes the cake... I'd never heard this before last year and I'm just floored that this band isn't more famous in America and their music isn't played on classic rock stations.. "TIED TO THE BED!!!" Frontman Carl is fantastic.

the Move never cracked USA commercially but they had a kind of serious underground following. whereas in the UK they were seen as a singles pop group. Roy Wood is a genius .."grab her by the tail I was hoping that the ground would open up and take me in"...!!!

I grew up listening to THE MOVE through the graces of a music loving family in my town. Here in the US THE Move were totally unknown, and youhad to special order thier records, if you could find a shop that would do it. I hav enever seen this clips before tonight.

The bassist was named Ric Price, wasn't he? Jeff Lynne was still in The Idle race at this point.

Thanks for posting this!

No Jeff Lynne yet. This is the underated single on Regal Zonophone post Ace leaving 1968, that stiffed in the charts. B side is Omnibus. "Too Hendrix for pop".

The next release was Blackberry Way, The Moves only UK number one...

@siouxie921 Duh. Just realized Jeff Lynne isn't even in this clip.

[siouxie921]

Real stage presence - Jeff Lynne. Even w/ ELO - totally underwhelming.

@MrSluggo666 I loved Mott the Hoople, too, as you guessed. Well, "de gustibus...".

[MrSluggo666]

@rudeingenue Speak for your self thick ears !, they just weren't good enough to cut it! the powers that be can be merciful like sparing us from this crap and gak!! mott the hoople !!!

[rudeingenue]

@MrSluggo666 I'm writing as a native U.S. citizen, by the way... but given the success in the USA of bands like Foghat, Foreigner, Asia, Judas Priest, and other thundering mediocrities on back to Herman's Hermits, I'm guessing the Move couldn't make a dent here because they DIDN'T stink. They were too smart, too sharp, too original, and too cool for us thick-eared Americans.

@LBrilliante bought all of the new salva reissues and the sound quality for all their stuff is much improved....this particular recording is always gonna be a liitle abrasive though
