That was a Jeff Lynne track, and performed after Carl Wayne's departure
(from the band, not this life!.......) to embark on his
middle-of-the-road Cabaret Thing. I think that the 'Tron on Blackberry
Way and Curly must've belonged to a studio or another band, because
those tracks are concurrent, and you're right, the rest of the Move's
output is Tron-Free.
The later Lynne-era stuff like 'Message' bears much more likeness to
the early ELO material, and all of the strings, woodwind were performed
by Roy Wood on real instruments.
Sad indeed about Carl.. but what is Kefford up to these days then?!!
