Having reached the end of their reissue program of THE MOVE catalogue, Esoteric Recordings is to deliver a killer punch on January 27th, 2017 with the issue of “Magnetic Waves Of Sound – The Best Of” that not only complies the best of the band’s newly re-mastered albums but also adds a DVD to the package to represent a visual side of the Brummies’ performances. During their lifetime, the Roy Wood-led ensemble made a numerous appearances on TV, yet their only official release until now has been "The Lost Broadcasts" which, partly overlapping with the forthcoming collection misses many key displays of the group’s talent. So yes, it’s a treasure and a treat.
That’s how the compilation rolls:
