5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you'd want to hear from this band, November 14, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Complete Singles Collection & More (Audio CD)

I think this CD has everything that a casual Move fan would want, and more. It covers all the big hits, including their only number one Blackberry Way, as well as the Tchaikovsky-like Night of Fear (listen to it alongside 1812 Overture), Flowers In The Rain, the psychadelic I Can Hear The Grass Grow, Wild Tiger Woman, the sarcastic Vote For Me, Brontosaurus, the brilliant Do Ya, California Man and Fire Brigade (considered risque at the time it was released). The cover features the tracks divided into the years they were released, and the liner notes contain detailed comments on the evolution of the group (bot musically and in terms of personnel) based on an interview with original lead singer Carl Wayne. Don't be fooled by the front cover image of the group in "fashionable" sixties clothes - this is timeless music, on a par with anything The Beatles, The Doors or The Kinks released in this period (late 1960s). A highly recommended summary of the career of a great sixties pop/rock group, which of course went on to form the core of ELO in the 1970s (ELO is also highly recommended by me, if you want to hear how this music might have developed if all the original members had remained together into the 1970s).
