The first thing to remember with this CD is that it's not strictly The Move. Rather, it's a ramshackle gathering of Roy Wood odds and sods, tacked onto the end of the band's own excellent (if unadventurous) nine-song television broadcast from 1968 – the source of the album's title; ‘Colour Me Pop’ was a late-'60s BBC show, the predecessor to the better-known ‘Old Grey Whistle Test’.
A couple of songs from a 1968-ish radio session appear later in the set. Despite their reputation for hellraising – despite, too, Roy Wood's proven ability to wrap your soul round his fingers with one classic pop song – The Move devoted far more time to fulfilling Carl Wayne's fantasies of classic pop interpretation than they ever did to honing their own art. That is why there's no such thing as a truly great The Move album; that's why half of what's released in their name gets listened to once, then filed away to grow cobwebs. "Last Thing on My Mind," "Sounds of Silence," "The Christian Life" – as if one Andy Williams wasn't enough. When they were good, though, they were amazing, which is why you sit through all the other stuff, just waiting for the gems, and maybe you'll discover some new ones too. Which is where the post-Move material comes in. Despite the painted weirdness, which is most Americans' favorite memory of Wood's Wizzard, there's no denying the manic spectacle of their contributions to this collection.
Of three tracks recorded live for Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, Wizzard's version of "Forever" (itself a Wood solo single from around the same time) comes on like Phil Spector with the best hiccups around; "You Got the Jump on Me", a B-side which isn't anywhere near as rare as the liner notes claim, is a T. Rex-y blues boogie (which inexplicably cuts off before the end), while a lowest of lo-fi "Great Balls of Fire" at least proves what a good idea ELO could have been, if Jeff Lynne hadn't…well, if Jeff Lynne hadn't.
Full-time The Move freaks will want this regardless of its contents; part-time ones will wonder what the fuss is all about. The rest of us should just keep on hoping that someone, someday, will give Roy Wood the boxed set he deserves because it'll be the greatest thing on Earth.
