"This album is a rare gem. All the songs are sublime. Fun and sometimes strange lyrics (If you were a tree, I would carve my name into your side and you will not cry, because trees don't cry)point that this valentine album is not your average love album. The music is grand, with big orchestration,..."  [+]  Reply

"When I was but a wee bit of a lad, THIS is what I dreamed Country music sounded like. Austere, plaintive & naked coupled with a crazed spiritual fervor. You can imagine my horror when I found out it was nothing more than a NEUTERED version of the hard rock of my junior high school years. Luckily ..."  [+]  Reply

"Picked this up in a charity shop for a quid - what a pleasantly surprising bargain that turned out to be. Tight, tasteful, memorable and punchy, this is electronic pop music par excellence."  Reply

""Upstairs at Eric's" is one of the best albums of all time, but this one is outstanding as well. The only track I don't like that much is "Happy People", which - regardless of the lyrics - is not really that great of a song. It's OK, but the North American version has "State Farm" instead, which ..."  [+]  Reply

"The Move were one of the most talented bands of the British pop-psych-era in the late 1960's.

"A lovely album, probably Sandy Denny's best. Beautiful vocals and great songs in, it'll take a long time, bushes and briars, and Bob Dylan's, tomorrow is a long time. Classic record."  Reply
