In Reply to: What was "Mesage From The Country" then? posted by dave c on February 8, 2007 at 13:27:44:
According to Robert Christgau's Record Guide, 1970s edition, Message From The Country was released on Capitol Records in the US in 1971.
I have a couple of Move compilations--one on CD and one on Harvest UK vinyl--and the song "Message From The Country" is on both of them.
This album was released after Jeff Lynne joined the band, started writing tunes and singing a lot of the lead vocals.
The CD compilation I have is called Great Move: The Best of the Move and it's on EMI. A lot of the songs from the album Message from the Country are included. Some of them are great, some of them are downright weird.
But, if you've ever heard the song "California Man" from Cheap Trick, well that's a cover of a Move song. The Move was one of Cheap Trick's biggest influences along with ELO, and IMO the most recent Cheap Trick album just might be the best ELO record ever produced.
Another Move tune that you might be familiar with is "Do Ya." The original Move version got zero attention in the US, but IIRC it charted when ELO covered it on their great album A New World Record.
