Description
Reduced to a trio and all but wiped out as a live act, they went ahead and generated what was, song for song, their most complex and challenging album. Heard today, it seems charmingly ornate in execution, yet also simple in the listening, very basic rock & roll dressed up in the finest raiment that affordable studio time could provide. Despite the obvious jump from the post-psychedelic "Message from the Country" to the driving, delightful "Ella James" and the leap into airy pop-psychedelia on "No Time," not to mention the novelty interlude of "Don't Mess Me Up," there's a sense of unity here, the entire album somehow holding together as something powerful, bracing, and visceral, yet cheerfully trippy. Based on its musical merits, it all should have sold the way some ELO albums later did, instead of getting lost in the transition between the histories of the two groups. And 35 years on and counting, it's still essential listening for fans of either the Move or ELO, as well as Roy Wood. All Music Guide

CONDITION OF DISCS I am not a dealer, not motivated by profit. I am a music fan, just like you. I chiefly want this great stuff to go to good homes, irrespective of price. That is why I cut postage to the bone. I cannot comment on the playing qualities of every disc. I last played many of them decades ago. I expected my discs to be enjoyably playable when I picked one to put on the turntable. Now I select them to post. I try to give an accurate account of what I see. This the basis on which all used records are sold by anybody. I am as experienced as anyone in England at judging a record visually. At the starting price of £0.99, and up, I would buy any of these again.
