In the psychedelic 60s The Move were easily the most controversial act in the UK, where outside antics often overshadowed the actual music. As a result, it took over a year for them to cut and release a debut album - at one point, the master tapes were stolen, found in disrepair, and had to be re-recorded - and when they did, it proved to be as eclectic and colorful as the cover suggested. Led by mercurial singer-songwriter Roy Wood, the material ranged from full-blown psych pop to Baroque to rockabilly to doo-wop, but all of it stands apart thanks to Wood's idiosyncratic, decidedly darker approach. The depth is somewhat lacking but the breadth of The Move's debut is what is most impressive, and certainly never matched by subsequent releases.
