Customer Reviews
Love The Move and some tracks are 1st rate but lots of repeats
First, UK Salvo released an excellent 2-CD set of the first Move album, complete with excellent sound, some first-time stereo, and great packaging.
Then, they issued superb "Shazam" and "Lookin' On" reissues, both with excellent sound and lots of new stereo.
Finally they issued this boxset and in the main, it's a major disappointment.
First off, the plastic CD holders are the most complicated and poorest designed ever and if you don't drop or break the CD, you'll be darn lucky. Absolutely awful.
Disc 1 has a handful of excellent never-before-released tracks in mono and they're great. The remainder of disc 1 is stuff previously released on Salvo and those horrible, stupid "enhanced stereo" tracks, which they claimed were done for some unissued 1972 vinyl LP. Absolutely worthless, unless you get off on the first Elvis album in phony stereo.
Disc 2 is the best thing here; the complete live Marquee 1968 session in proper stereo, and with the exception of a few badly distorted vocals ("Fire Brigade"), this stuff has never sounded better.
Disc 3 is nearly a total washout except for the live "Open Your Eyes". More "enhanced stereo" and the remainder are repeated tracks found elsewhere on the Salvo reissues.
Disc 4 opens with a cool 1969 live "I Can Hear The Grass Grow" and the remainder is the same tracks that have reissued over and over again.
So, a difficult CD tray situation and 75% worthless repeats makes this a boxset that you should get only if you can a hellava deal for it.
I love The Move and Salvo's previous releases are first-rate, but this boxset is jam packed with repeats, phony stereo tracks and only about 1/4th of the set is exciting. If you're a fan like I am, you too will be disappointed.
THE MOVE-40th ANNIVERSARY ANTHOLOGY
Four discs 57,39,58,58 minutes each approximately. The sound is improved from the MOVEMENTS box set from a few years ago. Having been a Move fan since the days of vinyl(I still have the albums of course) I'm glad that this anniversary edition contains so many unissued tracks. Saying that,I still feel the best way to understand The Move is through their first few albums. Someone new to The Move will better enjoy this collection after having heard those albums. The Move were a curious amalgam of several things-a large dose of pop music mixed with humor,slamming rock and roll,a bit of the "Mod" sound,a bit of psychedelia,and a bit of British dancehall much like the Kinks. Even today,forty-some years later,The Move are still not relegated to the upper echelons of more famous contemporary groups. They were(and continue to be) the quintessential sounding British band. Having few chart hits sealed their fate and made them the much loved cult band they are to this day. This set contains many gems either rarely or never heard,which only solidifies their stature. Singling out any tracks would not help other listeners,as everyone has their own favorites,and will find new ones. This box set,while fairly expensive,is worth the money,if for nothing else than the unissued tracks which give an even better picture of this band,which is still the best yet most unknown of the "British invasion" groups from so long ago. If you want to get away from the "Stones,Beatles,Who" sound-pick this up,and while you're at it,pick up The Move's first few albums-you won't be sorry. The enclosed booklet is crammed with information and pictures from the era,and is a nice addition to the story of The Move. The folded poster is ok-nothing that great,but the "postcards" are pretty cool-with information and photographs on individual band members. The packaging of the four discs is not the best-clipped in loose-they could fall out easily. Pick this up before this,too,goes the way of the thirtieth anniversary set MOVEMENTS-difficult to find.
some essential move tracks
the first 4 tracks on this set are worth the money alone. the complete
marquee set is great. the booklet has lots of great photos and stories
and the packaging isn't so bad once you figure it out. it's very exciting to hear new move songs. two thumbs up and much thanks to cherry blossom clinic, keep up the good work!!!
