The only music papers in those days were the NME, Melody Maker, Record Mirror & Disc - none of which offered any substantive journalism. So I don`t know where I heard about it but the fact that I knew Doug Dilliard played electric banjo with them would suggest that I got my information from somewhere. I have, what purports to be a legimate CD of them playing in Rome on the same tour. I think it was recorded by someone ooutside the venue - yes, the sound quality is not good but you can discern that the band are sounding okay.

That's really cool. I love the Move. I would love to have seen their original line-up with Ace Kefford especially.

Funnily enough I was going to mention Ace Kefford but wasn`t sure if you would know who is was.My compadre on that adventure was an inspiring bassist & worshipped Ace.

Yea I definitely love the early Move stuff the most. My heart is still broken about them losing the master tapes of their first album and never recovering them.
