MOVE MOVE -MONO/HQ-

This 1998 reissue contains 15 bonus tracks not on the original release.All tracks have been digitally remastered.The Move's self-titled first album capped an 18-month string of classic singles, all included on this greatly expanded and lovingly remastered reissue. Formed in Birmingham in the mid-'60s, the Move quickly became one of England's most interesting, and at times controversial, bands.
