Move

Description
Esoteric Recordings are proud to announce the release of a newly re-mastered and expanded edition of the classic 1968 debut album by THE MOVE, “Move”. Of all of the groups to emerge in Britain in the latter half of the 1960s, THE MOVE was arguably one of the finest. A powerful act on stage, the group were blessed with one of the most imaginative songwriters of his generation in Roy Wood and a fine vocalist in Carl Wayne, complemented by Bev Bevan (drums), Trevor Burton (guitar) and Ace Kefford (bass).

Released in the UK in April 1968, “Move” followed on from the international success the band had achieved with the classic singles ‘Night of Fear’, ‘I Can Hear The Grass Grow’, ‘Flowers In the Rain’ and ‘Fire Brigade’.

Their first album, “Move”, demonstrated the imaginative diversity of the band and saw them break new ground creatively.

Newly re-mastered from the original tapes, this 3 CD Deluxe edition of “Move” focuses on the Mono mix of the album, but has also been expanded to include 52 bonus tracks encompassing stereo mixes of the album tracks, previously unreleased tracks from the band’s very first recording session in January 1966, unreleased tracks from an early appearance on regional radio and 19 tracks drawn from BBC radio sessions recorded between January 1967 and January 1968.

This expanded deluxe edition also includes a lavishly illustrated booklet that fully restores the original album artwork and features a new essay by Mark Paytress and also includes a poster.

Shazam

Description
Esoteric Recordings are proud to announce the release of a newly re-mastered and expanded edition of the classic 1970 album by THE MOVE, “Shazam”. Of all of the groups to emerge in Britain in the latter half of the 1960s, THE MOVE was arguably one of the finest. A powerful act on stage, the group were blessed with one of the most imaginative songwriters of his generation in Roy Wood. “Shazam” is regarded by many as the finest MOVE album, despite being recorded in a time of flux for the band.

In the Spring of 1968 bassist Ace Kefford departed the fold, with Trevor Burton assuming bass guitar duties. The band continued to enjoy success as a singles act, earning a number one hit with ‘Blackberry Way’ in November 1968. In February 1969 Burton also left the band to be replaced by Rick Price. It was this line-up that was to record “Shazam”. The album was very well received and is regarded as a classic of the era.

Newly re-mastered, this 2 CD Deluxe edition of “Shazam” has also been expanded to include 37 bonus tracks encompassing the singles ‘Wild Tiger Woman’, ‘Blackberry Way’ and ‘Curly’ and alternate mixes. Significantly, 23 tracks recorded for the BBC between May 1968 and November 1969 are also included; 12 of which appear on CD for the first time.

This expanded deluxe edition also includes a lavishly illustrated booklet that fully restores the original album artwork and features a new essay by Mark Paytress and also includes a poster.

I totally agree Pete. Esoteric UK remasters are really good and the bonus are a WOW as we all agree.

The Salvo's will be hitting my used to sell stack. :wink:

These will be mastered by the same guy who did the excellent Esoteric Procol Harum deluxes, using the raw tape transfers that they did for the Salvos.

Hopefully without the NR and compression these will be the definitive masterings of these two albums!

These are top notch, with only a few little quibbles. Buy with confidence and chuck out your Salvo sets!

Previous SHAZAM reissue had an "alternate" stereo mix of "Blackberry Way" that was quite good. Seems to have disappeared now? Too bad.

It wasn't a real mix, it was a fake stereo affair from the early 70s. Very disposable.

Don't know where to put this, so I'll put it here: here's an amateur 56 min documentary on The Move, created May 4, 2016. Covers all the newsworthy high points and includes videos of most of the singles. Pretty good, and will have to do until we get a 2 hour professional real deal:
