Move It

This is recognized by many critics as the first genuine British classic rock record. It was written by Cliff Richard's friend Ian Samwell, who was a guitarist with Richard's backing band The Drifters (later The Shadows). He wrote it while riding on a number 715 red London bus on the way to Cliff's house in Cheshunt for a rehearsal.

The song is an attack on those who saw rock and roll as just a fad by asking what they hoped to replace it with.

When it came to recording it, the song's producer Norrie Paramor had little faith in The Drifters (who at that time did not include Hank Marvin), so he brought in Ernie Shears to provide backing on lead guitar and his electrifying riffing greatly enhanced the record.
