Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable.

- "made in England" - FLY RECORDS - FLY 1
TOP COPY (see full details below, please!)
RARE...53 years past top copy (!) British original !
Nice laminated cover the very first release on the 42 year old "UK" FLY RECORDS label... not easy to find !
........................................................................Time to recapture a lost GEM:
The Move's classic third album is quite over looked & highly creative, considered a heavy rock bridge between the powerful mod-pop blasts of their Lp's 1968 "THE MOVE" and 1968" SHAZAM! - and the more subtle, classical influences of 1971's MESSAGE FROM THE COUNTRY. While the album does have a certain lumbering heavy quality--only seven lengthy tracks--it's also surprisingly graceful.
The MOVE retain their own highly perfected style while hardly can overlook BEATLES "White Album" influences ...
"Looking On" is generally regarded as the hardest rocking, and most eclectic album in the Move's catalogue, as it presents the band dabbling in heavy rock ("Brontosaurus," "When Alice Comes Back To The Farm"), blues ("Turkish Tram Conductor Blues"), prog-style psych-epics ("Open Up Said The World At The Door"), hard soul ("Feel Too Good"), or, in the case of the title track, all four styles mashed together.
The backwards & phased drumming on "Open Up The Door..." is to stunning effect - drum soloing soaring outside of "the box"
It's also the first LP to feature both Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne as a tandem, with Wood’s use of cello and woodwinds and Lynne's vocals anticipating the work they would later pursue in the earliest & best version of The Electric Light Orchestra, 1st & best LP; they were starting to record at around the same time.
Complex fills on the title track also serve as a signpost of the style that Roy Wood would later develop in his classic '70s "Wizzard"

The Move were effectively a dead band walking when Jeff Lynne joined in February 1970 after fronting (and producing) The Idle Race.
Roy Wood wanted to launch a new group with Lynne that would feature rock and arrangements -- to pick up, in theory, where the Beatles' "I Am The Walrus" had left off -- and retire the Move immediately. But despite mainstream media reports that the Move were finished -- with Wood's blessing -- contractual obligations and management pressure kept the brand name kicking, regardless of the drastic changes in sound and personnel. The album is excellently produced which gives due credit to an underrated gem.
"Looking On" (Wood) – 7:48
"Turkish Tram Conductor Blues" (Bevan) – 4:38
"What?" (Lynne) – 6:42
"When Alice Comes Back to the Farm" (Wood) – 3:40
"Open Up Said The World At The Door" (Lynne) – 7:10
"Brontosaurus" (Wood) – 4:25
"Feel Too Good" (Wood) – 9:30
