  1. "10538 Overture" is the debut #single by the English band #theElectricLightOrchestra. It was released on 23 June 1972 as the lead single from their self-titled debut studio album (1971). It is a #hardRock song influenced by #psychedelicMusic, with cello instrumentation and lyrics about an escaped prisoner. Originally written by co-founder #JeffLynne for his and #RoyWood's previous band, #theMove.

  3. Today’s listening is ‘Message From The Country’, the 1971 album by The Move.

    This, the final album from The Move, is a great listen and a fine swan-song.


    By this point the band comprised just Jeff Lynne, Roy Wood and Bev ‘Basher’ Bevan.

    The album was recorded at the same time as they were recording the first Electric Light Orchestra album, which was going to turn out to be a bright future for at least Jeff and Bev!

    "Vocals and detectable Midlands Accent: Roy Wood"!

  4. Carrying on with my tooting about The Move, I do think they are a very underappreciated band. I also think their influence on the "Birmingham Sound" and hence heavy metal in general gets quite lost. Roy Wood was a master at creating bone-crunching bass heavy riffs. And then when Jeff Lynne joined they only got even more creative. Listen to the closing outro to this song, it's remarkable.

  5. @HailsandAles @Banur Hmmm... Being from Birmingham I don't really know where to start. So I'll go with something typically weird and madly bass heavy from the legend that is Roy Wood. #themove

  6. Here's a new #review for a single by #Stay. "Now we are in for a treat — their new 7-inch features an immaculate and inventive cover of #TheMove’s 60s song “I Can Hear the Grass Grow,” which is a vast improvement over the original. In fact they own the song with their up tempo trippy #PopPsych approach and twelve-string guitar experimentation..." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock expose.org/index.php/articles/

    Do Ya

    Happy 75th Birthday to Jeff Lynne!

    An early hit that began with #TheMove before being recorded later by #ElectricLightOrchestra. As always there'll be some quality covers and interesting live and alternate versions.

    "In this life, I've seen everything I can see, woman
    I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
    I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun
    And I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above
