1968 was the year of The Move's debut album, which is a collection of thirteen  rock songs with quite a punch. Like a scruffy beard the band was at it's scruffiest. 

However, its closer, “Cherry Blossom Clinic” , the song itself is assembled with a rapid fire string and trumpets that compliments the nasally tenor vocals of Carl Wayne.

The orchestration in itself is genius and breathtaking, it also has a heavy clue based on it's arrangement that the Electric Light Orchestra was just right around the corner. When you listen you can hear what I mean.

To define this song it's the story of a man who slips into madness and all that he imagines through hallucination in his clinic room.
