Biography
Birmingham, United Kingdom
Their first single, ‘Night of Fear’ was released in 1966 and was the first in a line of memorable hits penned chiefly by Roy Wood.
‘I Can Hear the Grass Grow’, ‘Blackberry Way’ &
Flowers In The Rain (the latter being the first record played on BBC Radio 1), are The Move’s better known work not forgetting 1971’s ‘Tonight’. The group became more experimental and innovative as time went on especially on the albums ‘Shazam’ and ‘Message from the Country’.Several changes left the final line-up in 1971 as Roy Wood, Jeff Lynne and Bev Bevan, evolving into the first incarnation of The Electric Light Orchestra which Wood left soon after to form Wizzard.

Such an awesome band. Their non album singles should not be overlooked at all

Near with early ELO

In my opinion, they are way better than ELO.

A warm sound of the soul which we have heard too many times, but it's still a pleasure that is renewed at every listening. -.-.-.-. om hari om .....

Roy Wood > Jeff Lynne. This shit sounds like 10cc ten years before it was recorded.

Shazam is the best 6 song album ever. It's so good I forget that half of it is covers.

@Druid66 Birmingham produced some decent psych bands. Check out The Idle Race, World Of Oz and Velvett Fogg for some more good stuff if you don't already know them. In fact Tony Iommi did a brief spell in the latter one so the Sabbath connection is there too.

Any band with Jeff Lynne in is going to be great.

I don't usually associate Birmingham with psychedelic bands - that's Black Sabbath's home, if I remember correctly - so these guys were an interesting surprise. "Hear the Grass Grow" is one of those songs you know you know, even if you don't know it. (-;
