The Move in their prime were a phenomenon few Americans had the privilege of seeing.
I have fantasized about what might have happened had they made it to Monterey Pop or the Fillmore. I think American audiences would have been as astonished as they were by The Who or Hendrix. The Move were ambitious working-class kids from Birmingham with no desire to change the face of music, preach peace and love or promote altered consciousness; they just wanted to be rich and famous. (Joe Boyd, White Bicycles, loc. 1573)
