| "There's
much more variation in The Move's music now, and I think the
LP is going to help a lot of people to realise this. It's
not really a change of image to get the underground audiences.
It's just the stuff that Roy and I are writing is a change
from what The Move used to do…." Jeff
Lynne, May 1970 |

Originally
released in December 1970, 'LOOKING ON'
was the third album by The Move and the first to feature
ex-Idle Race frontman and future ELO-leader JEFF
LYNNE. It saw ROY WOOD, BEV BEVAN, RICK PRICE
& Lynne at the peak of their musical imagination, embracing
the era's hard rock and progressive inclinations to deliver the
most epic-sounding Move album of them all.
Salvo,
in partnership with Fly Records, continue The Move's
40th Anniversary Series with 'Looking
On'. Digitally remastered from the original master tapes
for the first time ever by Rob Keyloch at Church Walk
Studio and Nick Robbins at Sound Mastering Ltd
and approved by Roy Wood, this is the most immaculate sounding
reissue of 'Looking On' EVER and comprehensively documents the
beginning of the Roy Wood / Jeff Lynne partnership that resulted
in the Electric Light Orchestra.
Following
the stunning reissues for 'Move',
'Shazam' and
'Flowers In The Rain', Grammy award-winning art director
Rachel Gutek has created another beautifully designed package
for this new edition of 'Looking On'. Newly restored original
artwork is housed in a deluxe digipack with 16-page colour booklet
containing rare and previously unseen photos (many supplied by
Move members themselves). Detailed and authoritative sleeve notes
are again by Mojo's Mark Paytress and include band interviews
plus track-by-track commentary.
Every copy ordered from the SHOP will come with TWO
EXCLUSIVES Move Collectors Edition Postcards (no.4) and
MOVE STICKERS - while stocks last!
BELOW
is the "BONUS HIGHLIGHTS" section of original 1970 press
and interviews - there's additional articles at The Move Online
website. Via the menu links at the TOP of the page, there's
more info, including audio previews, sleeve notes, lyrics, etc,
all waiting to be looked on...
