The Move , and as with all the other A-sides of their singles, written byRoy Wood . It was much heavier than their usual style, bearing the unmistakable influence ofJimi Hendrix , whom the group greatly admired and had often played on the same bill with. Session musicianNicky Hopkins played piano.Unlike their first four singles, which had all reached the UK top five, it did not even make the Top 50. Its failure was a disappointment to the group, who announced that they would probably disband if their subsequent single did likewise. (They need not have worried, as the follow-up, "
Blackberry Way ", went all the way to No. 1). At one time, the more melodic B-side, "Omnibus", another Wood composition, was intended to be the A-side instead.
