Roy Wood songs take a bit for me to like, but once I like them they never leave my head!

When i,m sixteen years i,m never tired to hear this song every day and the b-side This time tomorrow.

The Move albums and rareties are a gold mine . Super creative band .

When will Roy Wood be recognised as one of the greatest English songwriters this country as even produced alongside the likes of Ray Davis etc. With the exception of Wizzards Christmas classic, he’s hardly ever played on the radio.

Totally agree! Roy wood actually is a genius and needs to get a knighthood for services to music and culture. All Move songs are brilliant AND Wizard songs. See my Baby jive etc and without Roy Wood there probably never have been an ELO. If you listen to the great Blackberry way you can hear the sound of ELO way before there was an ELO. And even ABBA acknowledge See My Baby Jive as a huge influence on their song Waterloo. And I love the Christmas song because, again it’s genius. Singer, songwriter and multi instrumentalist and as important as Ray Davies Pete Townsend and McCartney imo.

Absolutely. Roy Wood is a national treasure. A campaign should be started to honour his contribution to the UK music industry and tax coffers. I'm sure the BBC thought long and hard about which song / artist to launch Radio 1. It's time the government did the same while there is still time. www.gov.uk/honours

They play tuned a step down. It's a huge part of their sound. Those deep plucky guitars. Love this band, esp this era.

The incomparable Roy Wood on double recorders. ✨💙💙✨

just when I thought I couldn’t love Roy Wood any more than i already do, he goes and sticks two recorders in his mouth at the same time. be still my heart .❤

Great song oh the childhood memories I was 11 yrs old

The ultimate blend of talent and creativity

My 2nd Favorite band of that era only after the LEGENDARY Beatles.

A classic of Roy Wood's quirky songwriting art. The Move were always there - but never quite there enough. A wandering image, a line up that came and went and some curious management decisions meant they were always one of the many great 60s bands that never quite made it as big as they might have. But some great tunes nevertheless!

Big Fan of the Group, The Move. A Very underatted Rock Band, that would- Become The Band ELO, Enough Said* Another Great Band. S.B.

Roy like Brian Jones of the stones were great multi instrumentalists of that era and their respected bands. I love Roy Wood! Hecould it all in that era especially lyrically and musically. Just incredible stuff!

First time hearing this - excellent song. The music in particular is great here imo. Thanks for posting.

I knew Carl Wayne when he was singing in Cabaret at the Talk of London in the 80’s and you to see him there regularly. One of the nicest guys you could wish to meet and such an exceptional voice. Last time I saw him was around 92/93 when he was the Narrator in Blood Brothers. Sadly, I never got to see him after that but when I heard he’d joined the Hollies I knew he would be in his element and the audience would be in for a great vocal performance. I totally agree with you that Carl was one of the greatest vocalists out there. I’m honoured and blessed to have known him as an entertainer and a friend. He is always in my thoughts. Now he is singing with the angels and man must they be delighted to have him there. RIP Carl 🙏

Apparently Bev Bevan thought putting this out was beneath The Move's high standards, and it embarrassed him playing it. Personally, I think it's a cracking catchy tune with great lyrics. It got to #12 in the UK charts.

The classic "misheard lyrics" song ("though he played with mud and won"......"when the doctor fears to come"...."but the nation's tones play on" etc.), thank goodness for the internet. The grammar, oh my goodness........ but a fantastic single nonetheless (I still have it)......
