The popularity of Birmingham combo The Move endures. It's been revealed that the Kaiser Chiefs are to cover their brilliant No. 2 single, "Flowers In The Rain", for a Radio 1 anniversary album due in October 2007.
"Flowers In The Rain" had just been released when Tony Blackburn selected it to be the first song played on Radio 1 on September 30th, 1967.
To coincide with this portentous event, Salvo Records/Fly Records will be re-issuing "Flowers In The Rain" as a limited edition 7" and CD single on August 20th 2007, as part of the 40th Anniversary Series campaign for The Move. The Move's first two critically acclaimed studio albums, Move and Shazam, will be released the following week on August 27th as deluxe expanded editions.
