Tim LovejoyHOST
Rain, by The Move.
Tim LovejoyHOST
And I was thinking, I don't really know a lot about The Move.
Tim LovejoyHOST
And they were sort of like a sort of Beatlesque type band, weren't they? But Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne came from them and went on to be even more successful.
Tim LovejoyHOST
Roy Wood with Wizard and Jeff Lynne with ELO.
Mack BHOST
Started by Leon Russell and Denny Cordell, and Denny Cordell did produce this.

Nick SalomanHOST
They, they had people out of Carl Wayne and The Vikings, Mike Sheridan's Lot, The Mayfair Set, and, and also The Idle Race eventually.
Nick SalomanHOST
But the- I'm talking about The Move, who, uh, were a very successful band fronted by Roy Wood.
Nick SalomanHOST
Uh, and then Jeff Lynne joined a bit later in the k- about 1970, at towards the end of their career as The Move, and Roy Wood went solo after briefly being in the Electric Light Orchestra.
Nick SalomanHOST
Uh, but he wanted to do his own thing, and Jeff Lynne wanted to do his own thing, and that was that really.
Nick SalomanHOST
Uh, but early on, they made a string, The Move, of great singles, uh, you know, really kind of poppy but kind of with a bit of an edge to it, and I'm gonna play a B side now.
Nick SalomanHOST
This is a, a B side by The Move from 1968.
Nick SalomanHOST
It's called Omnibus, and it's great.
Nick SalomanHOST
So this is Omnibus by The Move.
Brian IbbottHOST
You gotta look it up if you haven't heard it, but if you've listened to this show for any length of time, you've probably heard me play it.
Brian IbbottHOST
That's his cover of Do Ya, which was originally by The Move, uh, covered by Electric Light Orchestra.
Brian IbbottHOST
With, with quotation marks around covered because Jeff Lynne was the driving force behind both The Move and ELO, so is it truly a cover if he just brought it from one band to another? I don't know.
Brian IbbottHOST
Anyway, that's, uh, Do Ya, by Jason Faulkner.
Brian IbbottHOST
That's from the, uh, Lend Me Your Ears: Tribute to the Music of Jeff Lynne.
Brian IbbottHOST
You gotta look it up if you haven't heard it, but if you've listened to this show for any length of time, you've probably heard me play it.
