Blackberry Way - 2011 Version

This was written by band frontman Roy Wood. That's Richard Tandy on the harpsichord, and Trevor Burton on bass, who apparently was put off by the dreary nature of this song and left the group soon after. We hope it won't bring you down to point out that several members of The Move eventually went on to form Electric Light Orchestra.

"Blackberry Way" is often cited as an "answer song" to the Beatles' "Penny Lane." It has similarity with "Penny Lane," only with much darker lyrics and a melancholy mood. The bridge is lifted from the intro of Harry Nilsson's "Good Old Desk." When it was put to him in an interview, Roy Wood admitted the influence of "Penny Lane" on this song. He said: "I suppose it could have been. We were all very influenced by what The Beatles were doing because they were the best songwriters around."

Collectors won't want to miss Shazam - its cover art features cartoon art of the band as comic-book superheros, Each with a letter on their chest spelling out M-O-V-E - and lotsa '70s hair.
