Seit 1999 hat Rob Caiger in Zusammenarbeit mit dem leider gestorbenen Carl Wayne die Archive gesichtet, lang verschollene Master Tapes und unveröffentlichtes Material entdeckt. Das ist der Hauptgrund, warum es erneute Remastered Editions geben soll. Soweit ich das verstehe, ist aber Message von 2005 bereits Teil dieses Projekts, und es geht jetzt bald in die nächste Runde, wobei auch die Wood-Soloalben und Boxset/Anthology auf dem Plan stehen.

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.
