Move Super Deluxe - 3Cd -

The Move are one of the leading British rock bands of the 1960s fromBirmingham, England. Despite scoring nine Top 20 UK singles in just five years, they were among the most popular British bands not to find any real success in the United States.^[4][5] Although bassist-vocalist Chris "Ace" Kefford was the original leader, for most of their career, the Move was led by guitarist, singer and songwriter Roy Wood. He wrote all the group's UK singles and, from 1968, also sang lead vocals on many songs, althoughCarl Wayne was the main lead singer up to 1970. Initially, the band had 4 main vocalists (Wayne, Wood, Trevor Burton and Kefford) who split the lead vocals on a number of their earlier songs.^[4]

The Move evolved from several mid-1960s Birmingham based groups, including Carl Wayne & the Vikings, the Nightriders and the Mayfair Set. Their name referred to the move various members of these bands made to form the group.^[1] Besides Wood, The Move's original five-piece roster in 1965 was drummer Bev Bevan, bassist Kefford, vocalist Carl Wayne and guitarist Trevor Burton.^[1] The final line-up of 1972 was the trio of Wood, Bevan and Jeff Lynne; together, they rode the group's transition into theElectric Light Orchestra. From 2007 to 2014 and 2016 until present, Burton and Bevan have performed as 'The Move featuring Bev Bevan and Trevor Burton'.
