   Well i think it was …
   Well i think it was the no-touring (which also hut The Kinks in the 60s) and perhaps that they were “Too British”. Same thing happened to Pul recently…radio programmers thought they were so English, yanks couldnt relate.

   (I’m American BTW)

   i know that i heard the move a few times when i was a kid, i just find it strange that they never had big hits in the states

   they only toured in the states once, I believe, and I think even that was an opening slot, Hendrix maybe? Wood and Burton sang on “Axis Bold As Love”.

   I remember hearing “Cherry Blossonm Clinic” and “Fire Brigade” a lot in the 70s on “hip” FM stations, but they were mainly known for being “the band that turned into ELO”.

    Yes, they were an incredibly talented yet rather underrated/unsung group, because everyone 45 and upwards will have heard at least a couple of their songs growing up yet if you mention to many of them “The Move” the chances are you will get a blank expression, they know the songs but don’t know the singers.

    the move were at their height when i had just started school yet i loved their music, i know it is nostalgia but i still think their music holds up really well-albeit as an example of late 60’s psychadelia.
    i still listen to them on their greatest hits cd, available at all great music stores-not ‘arf!

21. Jarren202 on July 28th, 2009 at 9:48 pm

    Simply awesome band. I’m 29 and I feel like i’ve known their music all my life (in a way I have of course)!

    Respect.

    thank you for posting this info. i wasn’t aware of how TTOP worked. we had absolutely zero information about that stuff enen in the 70s when so-called ‘journalists’ should have been passing that stuff on to us,,

    Yes, great. But if it were only “OK”, it would still be way better than the crap today anyway.

    Re the queries as to whether they’re playing live or not: as this was Top Of The Pops, they’d have been singing live, but miming the backing, which was pre-recorded. BBC used to try to pretend the whole thing was live. Then one fine day, they had Jimi Hendrix set to launch into Purple Haze … and the pre-recorded backing track that started to play was “House That Jack Built” by the Alan Price Set!! Our Jimi allegedly stood there confused, muttering “don’t know that one, man”.
