I do remember hearing the _Move’s_ (not ELO’s) version of “Do Ya” on WABC-AM, gentlemen. Must have charted some kinda way, no?
  11:39am

I compiled for myself a collection of cover versions of Move songs . . . that I titled "Re-Do Ya."

Hey Mark R - I went to SUNY New Paltz starting in the fall of 1971. I fell in love with that place (the town + countryside not the school). I still love it all these years later!

  11:48am
dan:

Flowers In The Rain was the first song to be played on BBC1 radio, so for the 15th Anniversary concert for BBC1 at Hammersmith Odeon, Carl Wayne opened the show with a riveting live version of "Flowers In The Rain". His voice had gotten so much richer in that period of time.

I can relate to this song because I learned the recorder in school like everyone did in the NYC Public School system and this song has the recorder as the riff.

Brontosaurus charted in Canada, but in the US. The 1960s had British artists and groups like The Small Faces, Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich and Cliff Richard have top hits on the Canadian charts, but hardly make a dent here in the US.

All this time, I thought that was Roy Wood that sang Beautiful Daughter

David Fricke in Rolling Stone, Nov. 29, 2007:
"British singer-guitarist-songwriter Roy Wood was still in the Move and some years from co-founding the Electric Light Orchestra when he completed his solo debut in 1969. Issued in 1973, Boulders (Harvest) was an all-me feat that, in the making, predated Paul McCartney's all-solo bow in 1970."

Dean:

In an interview published in The Word, Jan. 2012, Wood states, "I recorded Boulders in 1969." I'll forward article to you, BB.

@Dean: Nice find! Really, Boulders pre-dated McCartney and Emitt Rhodes AND Todd Rundgren in the one-man-band area.

JCM, how is that book? And does the Move get much mention?

Pete Townshend picked up the guitar smash ideas after he went to art school in London where Gustave Metzger taught about auto-destruction. The era of the piano drop, etc.

The amount of music, songs & sounds coming out of Roy at that time was absolutely astounding!

Can't say I'd heard of it until today. It's a good interview.

"Forever" could be a Beach Boys song! Who is singing back-up vocals? Carl Wilson?
Avatar 🥁 1:32pm

@Gerry from Miami: all vocals Roy! I think I read that Forever was supposed to be a Neil Sedaka/Carl Wilson mashup.

@TDK Thanks for that.

Wood and Brian Wilson would have been an epic pairing. Still not too late!

"Cherry Blossom Clinic(Revisited)" on deck?
  1:40pm
Dean:

Oct. 4, 1971, Rolling Stone review by John Mendelsohn of Moving On and Message From the Country, proclaims that the group "at various times are decidedly Creamy and Beatlish and Byrdsish and just slightly Bonzo Doggy..." He concludes, "Don't deprive yourself of them for another instant."

John L:

Ah, after a bit more research and I found a budget 5 disc Roy Wood set that included Message From The Country, the first ELO, Boulders, Wizzard's Brew and On The Road Again.

Gerry from Miami:

@Dean. Don't miss the upcoming "re-debut" of Creem Magazine. Great stuff!

"Kilroy was here." I saw a documentary on that--I think it started as a hobo graffiti on freight rail cars, in the US West. / Thanks Bob & Pete.

As usual, thanks for the education and development of appreciation for a group I wasn’t very familiar with.

Also, this show led me to listen to the first ELO album. What a great listen!
