                  THE MOVE

                    SHAZAM !

 

TOP COPY! Cover & both record IS MINTY clean one of the *best* copies seen in years and includes the original printed A&M Records inner sleeve

IF the 10+ minute head-over-heels psych-out "Fields Of People" doesn't blow your mind, nothing will...

The MOVE Shazam will surprise for the 'powers' within, even seasoned collectors have rediscovered this gem, remarking how well it has aged, offering real highs to this legendary British band.

The Move's 1970 album is both powerfully flowing and intricately structured. Shazam is a brutally energetic rock and roll album.

It opens with "Hello Susie," which, in a substantially different form, was a large hit by a popular British act called Amen Corner a while back. The Move introduced it during their American visit with sarcastic remarks about how they'd restored it to its original state, and surely thier own version will make even the hardiest teeny wilt with horror. Devastatingly brutal and containing some absolutely lewd guitar, it's sung with unutterable viciousness by Wayne, who delivering some of the nastiest growling ever captured on vinyl, sounds like he'd just as soon bite off Susie's head as look at her.

"Beautiful Daughter," a tuneful little pop ditty embellished by a string section that sounds like it just arrived from a McCartney session, is a defintite throwback to the first Move album, where, occasional syrupy Paulie imitations are to be found.

In "Cherry Blossom Clinic Revisited," an adaptation of a charming song about confinement in a mental hospital from the first album, the Move show us all their new tricks. Poundingly rocking and energetic, its orgasmic choruses are yanked in by siren-screech guitar-slides from Wood, after the last of which there appears a short acoustic bridge that introduces an amazing series of composed movements that alternately feature a barouque Spanish guitar line in front of Price's stalking sinister bass, explosive drumming, and finally a choral repetition in falsetto of the baroque guitar line. The walls of the Whisky very nearly crumbled when the Move performed this one there last October.

The 10: 09 "Fields Of People" is the Lp climax -- a infectious slice of tripped-out British psychedelia with lengthy passages, infectious grooves, it's all here wrapped up & bow tied in a nifty 10 min+ package of thrilling delirium! You won't want to miss this thoroughly satisfying nugget!

"Don't Make My Baby Blue" The Move deliver a stunning display of all the techniques that characterize the most compelling, "heavy" rock and roll. Wood here employs a monstrously ferocious Jimmy Page-ish guitar tone that he makes work perfectly in the context of the song. He slices the song in half in the middle with a screechingly dissonant wah-wah explosion that will floor you, and then at the end hands it over to Bev, whose drum explosion signals the torrent of sirenish harmonies that end the song.

"The Last Thing On My Mind" clinches it: what the Move here do with Tom Paxton compares qutie favorably with anything the Byrds ever did with Dylan. And perhaps not coincidently, the Move use all the Byrds' tricks, right down to the dense-sounding twelve-string guitar and massive high choruses that will remind you of jets taking off.
