Move
The Move were managed by Denny Cordell, Tom Visconti and Tony Secunda's Straight Ahead Productions in England. Cordell made a licensing agreement with Jerry Moss of A&M Records that gave all of his artists record distribution in the U.S. The Move were one of the first British artists signed by A&M Records. The first single "Something" was released in late August 1968 to top 40 and FM hard-rock radio.
The label pressed 100,000 copies of "Flowers In the Rain" in advance of its release in the U.S. in early October 1967.
In Australia, "Flowers in the Rain" peaked at #11 in 1968. In 1969, their single "Blackberry Way" peaked at #14.
Jeff Lynne joined the band after the Shazam album was recorded.
