“A Magnetic Wave Of Sound…”
More than 40 years in the making. 62 career-spanning tracks and well over three hours of Move magnificence on one superbly remastered 4-CD box set! Classic hit singles, b-sides, choice album cuts, a wealth of previously unreleased material including never-before-heard songs, demos, alternate takes & live recordings from 1966-72. The full-colour 72-page booklet with rare & unseen photos & memorabilia includes extensive 10,000-word Move history & band interviews with complete track-by-track info & UK discography.
The story of The Move is as mad, bad and dangerous as any rock’n’roll tale gets. The cast includes four loutish hot-heads, one shy songwriter, and a scheming, Mexican ’tached manager. And let’s not forget one furious British Prime Minister. Travelling with the band in the back of the van is one nasty looking axe and a case of smoke bombs. Chasing them out of the nation’s clubs and ballrooms is a queue of fist-waving venue managers demanding explanations for the crowd disturbances and splintered stages.
That’s hardly the start of it. There’s a quite brilliant procession of singles that helped create a second golden age of British pop. Secret service agents loitering menacingly in the shadows. Acid-induced breakdowns. Boozy blackouts. A High Court appearance decked out in granny perms, floral jackets and dark glasses. Probably the most notorious and costly postcard ever produced. High jinx with Jimi Hendrix. Endless rows, punch-ups and changes in personnel. And, quite possibly, the most protracted split in pop history.
On a happier note, The Move’s work has never been so highly regarded, and this latest, career-crunching 4-CD collection, the sovereign set in Salvo/Fly’s programme of 40th anniversary releases, presents the band in various hues. From Who-influenced mod mavericks to beat group harmony specialists, flower power opportunists to power pop sophisticates, and psychedelic jamming band to progressive and hard rock pioneers, The Move are revealed here as a defining example of late ’60s /early ‘70s pop era eclectics.
Disc 1 - Early Days 1966-67, Disc 2 – Live at the Marquee Club 1968, Disc 3 – 1968-69 and Disc 4 –1969-72.
