Shazam

Reissue 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.

CD - Newly re-mastered, this edition of Shazam has also been expanded to include eight bonus tracks encompassing the singles "Wild Tiger Woman", "Blackberry Way" and two rare tracks.
