The Move (album) - "Cherry Blossom Clinic"/"Vote For Me" Single

"Cherry Blossom Clinic"/"Vote For Me" Single

The last track, "Cherry Blossom Clinic", was intended as a single at the end of 1967, and an acetate, with "Vote for Me" (a song which remained unreleased until 1997), was pressed. Release was cancelled, as the lyrics were about the inmate of a mental home, and in the wake of the controversy which had dogged 'Flowers In The Rain', with its promotional postcard featuring an allegedly libellous drawing of Prime Minister Harold Wilson, it was felt that to risk further allegations of bad taste and scandal would harm their career irreparably.
