Ace nearly became a Syd Barrett style casualty, and Trevor Burton also left before the second album. So, Rick Price came aboard to play bass on <i>Shazam</i>. Then Carl Wayne left to pursue a cabaret career, and Jeff Lynne was recruited from the Idle Race for <i>Looking On</i>. Rick Price couldn't afford to do nothing as the band became a studio project, so he wasn't around for the recording of <i>Message From The Country</i>, a few final Move singles (collected on the US <i>Split Ends</i> LP) and the first Electric Light Orchestra album. The original 5 piece band recorded the <i>Something Else from the Move</i> live EP at the Marquee. The Wayne, Wood, Price and Bevan group did a three show tour of the USA after <i>Shazam</i> was released, and a CD from the Fillmore West gig is planned. ("Scheduled" is a difficult word to apply to anything Roy Wood is involved in these days.) I've been waiting for a clean copy of the opener from that concert, the Nazz's "Open My Eyes" since hearing a muffled and noisy tape thirty years ago... 83938@blogcritics.org Wed, 8 Sep 2004 09:13:03 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/09/07/163311.php#comment-83871 thanks Dave, sad but very interesting: I didn't know there WAS a Move without Jeff Lynne. When did Roy Wood come in? 83871@blogcritics.org Tue, 7 Sep 2004 19:19:20 EDT
