The Move –Shazam LP (New Factory Sealed 180gr Audiophile Stereo Vinyl Pressing). Product DescriptionThe Move: Roy Wood, Carl Wayne, Rick Price, Bev Bevan.All tracks have been digitally remastered.The Move was always a hard band to pin down. They began by bringing a hard-edged American rock & roll sensibility to '60s British psych-pop, alternating between rave-ups and trip-outs. By the time of SHAZAM, one of the group's strongest efforts, the sound was most comparable to S.F. SORROW-era Pretty Things. There are hard-rock riffs aplenty, but they're employed in the service of long, ambitious songs, occasionally of a conceptual nature. The lengthy centerpiece, "Cherry Blossom Clinic," is indicative of SHAZAM's sound. "Clinic" tells the story of life inside a mental institution in a constantly shifting tour de force that moves from spoken-word fragments to heavy proto-progressive riffs to fanciful folk/baroque acoustic guitar tapestries.On the other side of the coin, the band wrings some crunchingly heavy, Led Zep-like blues-rock out of some unlikely source material on the Barry Mann/Cynthia Weill composition "Don't Make My Baby Blue". Similarly, Tom Paxton's simple folk standard "The Last Thing On My Mind" is transformed into a moody, cinematic, seven-and-a-half-minute psychedelic rock epic.About this productProduct IdentifiersRecord LabelMusic On VinylUPC8719262000605eBay Product ID (ePID)22046051427Product Key FeaturesArtistThe MoveFormatRecordRelease Year2016Release TitleShazamGenreRockDimensionsItem Length12.51 inItem Height0.18 inItem Width12.37 inItem Weight0.62lb.Additional Product FeaturesLabelImtNumber of Discs1NotesLimited vinyl LP pressing. Shazam is the second album by The Move, originally released in the UK in February 1970. The album marked a bridge between the band's quirky late ?0s pop singles and the progressive, long-form style of Roy Wood's next project, the Electric Light Orchestra. It was the last Move album to feature the group's original lead vocalist, Carl Wayne. Essentially The Move's 1969 stage act captured on record, with its mixture of California psychedelia, heavy metal riffs, thundering drums and quotations from classic composers, the album was generally praised by critics and is generally regarded as the band's best album.Tracks1.1 Hello Susie 1.2 Beautiful Daughter 1.3 Cherry Blossom Clinic Revisited 1.4 Fields of People 1.5 Don't Make My Baby Blue 1.6 The Last Thing on My MindNumber of Tracks6Country/Region of ManufactureNetherlands
