March 31, 1967: Wood Can Hear The Grass Grow

The Move released 'I Can Hear The Grass Grow' backed with 'Wave The Flag And Stop The Train' on the DERAM label, both songs were compositions by Roy Wood.

Paul McCartney said of the single:

Who is it? Go on, you can tell me. The Move, eh? They're cool. They've just got to be cool. It's a nice record. I haven't actually seen them live or anything, but the reports I hear are very good. They sound good. They look good. As for smashing up tellys, it all good, man. This is a very good record. It'll be a hit. It just depends how they're handled in the meantime. And how they look after themselves. Right, the next record. Oh is that it? Oh well, there you go.
