About this album

Shazam / Move gathers The Move’s early-1970s psych-pop and baroque rock into a single compilation, highlighting a band that helped bridge British beat energy and more adventurous album writing. The Move were one of the key UK groups of the late 1960s, and this set draws together material associated with their most distinctive period, when sharp melodies, eccentric arrangement ideas and a harder-edged studio approach set them apart from many contemporaries. Songs such as Flowers In The Rain and Cherry Blossom Clinic Revisited underline the group’s knack for combining strong pop craft with a restless, psychedelic imagination. It is a vivid reminder of how influential The Move were before their later evolution into larger progressive projects.
