Overview Edit

Shazam is the second album by The Move, released in the UK in February 1970. The LP marked a bridge between the band's quirky late '60s pop singles and the progressive, long-form style of Roy Wood's next project, the Electric Light Orchestra. It was the last Move album to feature the group's original lead vocalist, Carl Wayne.

And it is a great album--a pop masterpiece, right up there with Ogden's Nut Gone Flake or any other classic you could name. The Move rank up there with the greatest British bands of all time (as do the Small …

2 stars Badly Remastered
I was really excited about this reissue, especially after reading the other reviews. As soon as I put on headphones and listened, my heart sank. Much of the album is absolutley smothered in noise reduction. The quiet parts of the album are dead and glassy and there is not a trace of hiss. They spiked the treble in an attempt to retain some of the high end that they stripped away. It sounds really bad. I have seen this remaster descibed as "clearer" and "crisper". It's a farce.
