The Move’s final recording under that name was 1972’s ‘California Man’.
A harmless pastiche of 1950’s rock ‘n’ roll complete with Teddy Boy clobber and long-haired DAs. Jeff Lynne does a Jerry Lee Lewis impression on the Joanna, whilst Roy Wood arses about with a saxophone.
Unfortunately, they don’t seem able to decide whether they’re miming or singing live, which causes the occasional conflict in sound throughout. Still.
‘California Man’ is available as a bonus track on the superior 1971 album, Message From The Country.
Enjoy
