- There's a good reason why the Move's very first 1968 debut album sounded like the work of two or three different bands – though actually benefiting THE MOVE with their multiple lead singers.
First, the who's-who lead singer.
Carl Wayne was the group's front-man vocalist, but Roy Wood wrote the band's original tunes and sometimes took the vocal leads, and when the group covered a rock classics, they would have rhythm guitarist Trevor Burton sing (as they did on "Weekend") or drummer Bev Bevan (as they did on "Zing Went the Strings of My Heart"). Such ever-changing leads can lend excitement especially when the group enthusiastically mixes up "THE WHO-inspired art pop with three-chord rock & roll and more than a hint of British eccentricity. Add to, the album had a long stay of 14 months on the British popular charts, a long span of time in pop music, but it was an eternity in the mid-'60s, when styles and sounds were changing monthly. That's how interesting the first MOVE Lp is!
The Move were releasing singles during this time within the "Swinging London" mod-pop psych paisley grooves scene, and something separated them from the rest of the pack, making them seem eccentric…and the Move needed no help in seeming eccentric. In an age filled with all kinds of underground pop-psych mod grooves, the Move may have been the most peculiar, not quite fitting into any particular scene or sound. They rivaled "The Who" in their almost violent power, but were almost entirely devoid of only a Mod-Rock style, despite the "Ace" nickname of bassist Chris Kefford. They were as defiantly British as the Kinks, but during 1967 and 1968 they were more closely tied to psychedelia than the Kinks, producing intensely colorful records like "(Here We Go Round) The Lemon Tree" and "I Can Hear the Grass Grow," songs that owed a heavy debt to the Beatles. Indeed, the Move were arguably at the forefront of the second wave of the British Invasion, building upon the bright, exuberant sound of 1964 and 1965 and lacking any rooting in the jazz and blues that fueled the Rolling Stones, the Animals, and Yardbirds, among countless others.
The Move sounded so new that this 1968 "Regal Zonophone" first LP (NO USA RELEASE) still sounds unusual, ping-ponging between restless, kaleidoscopic pop-artistry and rock & roll, punctuated by the occasional foray into the English countryside and,
- with the closing "Cherry Blossom Clinic," psychic-nightmare.
Much of this oddity can be tributed to Roy Wood, the only member to write, but the Move were certainly a collective, sounding just as off-kilter and distinctive on the aforementioned oldies covers and their version of Moby Grape's "Hey Grandma" as they do on their originals. But it's Wood's originals – ranging from the stately, tightly-buttoned "Kilroy Was Here" to Jeff Lynne's Idle Race "(Here We Go Round) The Lemon Tree"; from the gentle, precious "Mist on a Monday Morning" to the perfect (Beatles styled) pop-grooves of "Fire Brigade" and "Flowers in the Rain" – they both give The Move its heady rush of melody and tangible sonic textures.
This is vivid, imaginative music – almost too vivid, really, as there are so many ideas. Art-pop albums are always better when there are too many ideas instead of too few, and The Move is one of the first to prove such a creation - as true.
