The Move (Bev Bevan, Roy Wood, Jeff Lynne (ELO)) - Anthology 1966-1972 (4 CD, 2008/FLAC)


 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.
