The Move (1969)

THE MOVE - 1969 BBC COLOUR ME POP

Colour Me Pop was a British music TV programme broadcast on BBC2 from 1968-1969. It was a spin-off from the BBC 2 arts magazine show Late Night Line-Up. Designed to celebrate the new introduction of colour to British television, it was directed by Steve Turner, and showcased half-hour sets by pop and rock groups of the period. The programme was a pioneering precursor to the better remembered BBC music programme The Old Grey Whistle Test (1971–87). Unlike its successor, most of the editions of Colour Me Pop are lost.

The Move's set is from a much better condition source, and captures the four-man lineup in peak form -- all one has to do to fully enjoy it. Whether they're playing hard electric numbers like "I Can Hear Grass Grow" or acoustic guitar driven pieces such as "Beautiful Daughter," or pieces that were otherwise unrepresented in their history, such as "The Christian Life" and "Goin' Back," they sound great -- indeed, the version of "The Last Thing on My Mind"here is superior to the officially released studio recording and also makes good use of super-imposition and split-screen effects for its time. The sound is excellent.
