"Not to be confused with the British OMNIBUS: SINGLES As & Bs which only contains material up to '69 (when The Move changed labels), this is a career spanning best of which will delight and surprise many 60s pop/rock fans. Surprise? Yes - it's taken me till 2000 to check out The Move's records and I've been buying 60s music since 1972. They should be up there with The Kinks, The Small Faces, The Hollies and even, possibly, The Who (with whom they have many stylistic similarities) as the greatest of The Beatles' rivals.In fact, don't buy this at all. One listen to the likes of "Fire Brigade", "Lemon Tree", "Curly", "Hello Susie", "Tonight" or "Do Ya?" and you'll want the entire catalogue:1) THE MOVE - German import with bonus tracks2) SHAZAM! - as above3) LOOKING ON - as above4) GREAT MOVE! - re-issue of MESSAGE FROM THE COUNTRY with bonus tracksOr substitute the MOVEMENTS box set for 1, 2 & 3.This band, and especially chief songwriter Roy Wood, should be world famous. Attention all Beatles/Who/Small Faces/Kinks/Byrds/Love fans! BUY CDs BY THE MOVE NOW!"

"This CD is the best set available if you want to get the best of this great and sadly neglected band(in the U.S.anyway).it contains all the single A and B sides to all their classic singles .Much appreciated is the fact the record company licenced the band's EMI output so you get classic Move tracks like "California Man","Chinatown and "Do Ya" and they've included the long lost"Vote For Me" as well and the full"Somethin Else from The Move" live EP as the last six tracks on disc 2.There is no more perfect Move compilation in existence .BUY THIS!BUY THIS!BUY THIS!"

"Terrible sound quality! I have most of these songs in other CDs and there is a discernable negative difference in the quality of this CD. If you want to buy a good Move Album buy "Shazam" other wise buyer beware!"
