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?!!
