HERE IS THE NEWS
Die FTM-Seite www.ftmusic.com wurde um eine schöne MOVE und Roy-Wood Biographie erweitert.
So ganz nebenbei hören wir von den geplanten Projekten. Move-Fans und Freunde von Roy-Wood, ich sage mal, das klingt doch vielversprechend!

“ Thankfully, this is all about to change. 2005 sees the culmination of a project originally begun in 1999 by Move and ELO archivist Rob Caiger in conjunction with Carl Wayne to locate and restore The Move’s surviving master tapes. Much had been recovered prior to Carl’s untimely death in 2004, including previously unreleased material, live recordings and session tapes, while only recently in June 2005, the original master tapes for hits ‚Night Of Fear‘, ‚Fire Brigade‘, ‚I Can Hear The Grass Grow‘, ‚Blackberry Way‘ and ‚Brontosaurus‘ were finally unearthed.
As a result, forthcoming releases will include remastered and expanded editions of The Move’s original albums and the first of these to appear will be ‚Message From The Country‘ on 5 September 2005. Details of further releases, including ‚Harvest Showdown‘, a Harvest Records rarities and best of set (featuring The Move’s EMI years, ELO, Roy Wood and Wizzard), a 4-CD box set, exclusive live and session recordings and a career-defining anthology with tracks selected and remastered by Roy Wood and Bev Bevan in tribute to Carl Wayne, will be announced shortly.“

Die Originalalben erscheinen also als Remastered Editions mit Bonus Material. Den Anfang macht am 5. September „Message From The Country“. Von Interesse wird auch „Harvest Showdown“, ein 4-CD-Boxset mit Raritäten von der Plattenfirma HARVEST RECORDS sein. Ausserdem ist eine Move-Anthology in Arbeit!
Zu Roy Wood gibt es auch einiges zu erwarten:
—————————————————————————
“ Roy’s work as a solo artist and with Wizzard, a 2-CD set from Sanctuary collecting further material and rare tracks from Wood’s Jet and Warner Bros. years and most poignantly and in memory of Carl Wayne, an anthology of The Move lead singer’s collaborations with Wood, for which Roy has remastered and acted as executive producer.
These CD’s will be the first in a series of remastered releases and surprises that will continue into 2006 and will reinstate Roy Wood’s catalogue and rightful position in music as „…the mastermind behind some of the most beguiling tunes of our time…“ (Scott Schinder, Time Out New York, 2002).
