Brilliant performance. The pared down version with only guitar, bass and drums highlights the magnificence of The Move.

I loved Roy Wood in every group he's been in. He's one of the most talented artists around, he's a LEGEND in the music business, and a very underrated one at that. I don't know why he's never received a Knighthood, for all he's done for the music industry alone. He put The West Midlands on the music market. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The guy at the very beginning is Stanley Unwin, a British comedian and comic writer, and the inventor of his own language, "Unwinese," a mangled form of English in which many of the words were corrupted in playful and humorous ways. 1968 he narrated the story of "Happiness Stan" on side two of The Small Faces' LP Ogden's Nut Gone Flake. info checked with Wikipedia. A Roy Wood's Wizzard B-side (of "Rock 'N Roll Winter") is titled "Dream of Unwin"

Jeff Lynne joined after Carl Wayne left. Carl left because the concept of ELO, for him, was moving too far from their pop-rock hits. The ELO concept was a logical progression for what The Ilde Race was doing so Jeff joined. Incidentially, there's a story that The Move gave interviews that they would break up if their next single (Blackberry Way) didn't go to number one. It did. Their only number one single.

However, technically Rick Price replaced Trevor Burton and Jeff Lynne came in when Carl Wayne left. Oddly enough Burton left because they were becoming too pop, Wayne left a year later because they were becoming too underground. Not sure why Rick Price ended up leaving because I think he resurfaced in Wizzard.

@ClaimOfRightMuso
7 жыл бұрын
There never was a harpsichord on this record, perhaps you mean the haunting sound of the mellotron? Also, recording techniques are all fine and well, but the trick is to perform your hits live, unaided, without lip-syncing and sans the luxury of studio wizardry and/or arrangements. Not many of the post-80s bands are able to accomplish this simple task. Most good bands worth their salt are able to undertake this, and even Queen, with their use of multiple-tracking were able to put on a good show. For my money, modern 'music' can't stand beside the bands of the era of The Move.

@@ClaimOfRightMuso I completely agree with your sentiment - though I must inform there actually was a harpsichord on the original record - played by Richard Tandy who would go onto fame with the Move's successor of the Electric Light Orchestra - though as much as I love ELO, nothing beats the Move! In another ironic twist, it's been said Roy wrote "Blackberry Way" in Jeff Lynne's home. Go figure!

@@starmanbrinley9936 Hmm. The plot thickens. Yes, I think I have seen, since my original post, that a harpsichord was indeed used on the original recording (my pending concession to Gansuela), however, having listened to the original recording once more, I can find only one instance where this 'might' occur: listen to the bridge (Ooh-lah) and there's a moment - between the Ooh-lahs - where something is definitely arpeggiating - is this the harpsichord? or is it, Roy Wood's 12-string guitar? BUT, as you've provided a reference name - Richard Tandy - I'll concede, it is a harpsichord! Here's another piece of nothing; the above version is being performed (live) in the key of G (natural key for playing on guitar) whereas the recorded version is in the key of Gb, same tempo. Now why would the studios do that? I'm thinking it might've been something to do with Carl Wayne's inability to reach up to the high notes. Roy Wood has an excellent range and still performs this in G. Roy's even older than me but I perform this song a tone down from Roy - F - and I still struggle to maintain the integrity of the vocal part. In fact, I've almost dropped this fantastic song from my set as it murders my voice every time I sing it (note to self: sing it at gig tomorrow) Wouldn't surprise me if (highly respected) Jeff Lynne was involved somewhere along the line, he's involved in lots. Good response, btw, SB

Same as Penny Lane? absolute nonsense. Have you even listened to PL? If anything, it sounds more like the bridge in 'Sunny Afternoon' by The Kinks Sunny Afternoon: June 1966 Penny Lane: Feb 1967 Blackberry Way; Nov 1968 Only someone born after the time these wonderful songs were released would make such ignorant and uninformed comments. Sure, writers and composers are influenced by the work of other artists, but your comparison is probably based around reading somewhere that BW was influenced by PL, but to suggest the meldoy (sic) is 'almost the same' is akin to; 'Beethoven is almost the same as Mozart'. Next you'll be telling us that Oasis songs are completely uninfluenced.
