those of us of a certain age (and probably the rest of the world as well!) will remember this, The Move's first hit.
i didn't know until yesterday that they have never earned a penny from it in royalties, because their manager was an idiot who'd never heard of libel laws - managed to libel harold wilson, the then prime minister, in a cartoon publicizing the song, they ended up before HH Judge Melford Stevenson.... result, royalties to charity.
This wikipedia article refers; I found out when listening to Radio 4 on Saturday...and if you have real player you can listen again here
a bit too late to appeal, unfortunately...
