The Move's Roy Wood Reviews the Singles of September 1967

[@wyliesmith4244]

Thank you for posting Roy Wood's review. Here in the States you could not find a piece of vinyl by the Move, so when I went to England in '69, the first vinyl I bought was the Move's first album. But Weekend and Zing Went Strings of My Heart? I had to wait years to get the singles on a double Move best of on A & M. Unlike some of your comments, I liked a lot of the music reviewed. I loved the Turtles, and while never seeing them, I saw Flo & Eddie with the Mothers as well as several touring versions of Flo & Eddie. Slim Jenkins Place is my faorite Booker T track (piano!) from my favorite Booker T album (Hip-Hug-Her). And despite endless listenings, I still like Bobbie Gentry and the Box Tops. But enough of my personal taste.

I love "The Letter" by the Box Tops, one of my favourite songs from 67. This other version doesn´t sound as cool. I guess it´s Alex Chilton´s vocals that make it for me. It must have been lovely to be a teenager and to dance to that song in the summer of 67. There are videos of US tv programs here in youtube of people dancing to it in 67. My favourite is "Zacherley's TV dance party featuring the Box Tops "The Letter"" where they are having some sort of halloween theme in an episode of a TV show called Disco Teen and a bunch of teenagers dance to it in costumes. There is also a video of American Bandstand but I like the other one better

Well that first "Jimi Hendrix" is an odd one. Never heard it before and I'm pretty sure it was not released as a single here in America. Of course it is a reworking of Dylan's monumental Like a Rolling Stone. A soul version with different lyrics and it's actually not bad at all.. But hey, the record label did a good job marketing it as a Jimi Hendrix single when in reality he just plays guitar in the Curtis Knight band and that sounds like Curtis singing. (Hope I got all that right) And another shading of Otis Redding. What gives? There was also another Blind Date bloke who shaded him a while back. His ballads, filled with emotion, IMO are just wonderful as his rave-ups. Jeez, how can you not be moved by his singing?

@@dannybenair Yes, and what a fantastic song. When I was a little girl, I wouldn't listen to it, only to a-side Blackberry Way. I love it now. There's a great version of it on The Move Anthology, disc 3, track 6, listed as A Certain Something (piano version, rough mix). Does anyone know anything else about David Morgan, as I don't? I love The Move! ( Can't you guess?! Haha!)

@@traceya9615 Right. He wrote the song Hiroshima for Wishful Thinking and released it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Scott-Morgan.

Roy who? He had a great group in the Move but never made it in the U.S.
