This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪L235‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:36, 3 July 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Looking On''''' is the third studio album by [[The Move]], released in the UK in December 1970. The album is their first to feature [[Jeff Lynne]], their first containing entirely original compositions, and the first on the [[Fly Records|Fly]] label, its catalogue number being FLY 1. It includes both their 1970 singles, the Top 10 hit "[[Brontosaurus (The Move song)|Brontosaurus]]," released on Regal Zonophone in March, and the less successful "[[When Alice Comes Back To The Farm]]," released on Fly in October.

''Looking On'' presents the band dabbling in heavy metal ("Brontosaurus"), blues ("When Alice Comes Back to the Farm", "Turkish Tram Conductor Blues"), prog-style epics ("Open Up Said the World at the Door"), soul ("Feel Too Good"), and, in the case of the title track, all four styles mashed together. It's also the first album to feature [[Roy Wood]] and Jeff Lynne as a tandem, with Wood’s use of [[cello]] and [[woodwinds]] and Lynne's use of [[piano]] in addition to guitars and vocals, reflecting the work they were pursuing in [[The Electric Light Orchestra]], the debut album of which they were recording at the same time. The jazzy fills on the title track also serve as a signpost of the style that Wood would later develop in [[Wizzard]] and the [[Wizzo Band]].

==Background==
The Move was effectively a dead band walking when Lynne joined in February 1970 after fronting (and producing) The Idle Race. Wood had wanted to launch a new group with Lynne that would feature rock and strings and retire the Move immediately. According to Wood, none of the members of The Move had any interest in the band at this point; Lynne in particular had joined the band solely so that he could get the separate orchestral project started with Wood.<ref name=WizzInt/> But contractual obligations and management pressure kept the band name kicking, regardless of the drastic changes in sound and the unwillingness of the personnel. 

Wood and Lynne took the opportunity to begin work on the embryonic Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) project in the studio and get the Move off the road, for the most part—the occasional live set in 1970 usually featured most of the tracks on ''Looking On'', a cover of [[The Beatles]]' "[[She's a Woman]]," and one of The Move's singles, "[[I Can Hear The Grass Grow]]".((cn|date=June 2021))

The album ends with an (uncredited, but usually attributed to Wood and Lynne together) doo-wop-style coda, "The Duke of Edinburgh's Lettuce".

''Looking On'' has been reissued on CD with various combinations of bonus tracks, including in 1998 by [[Repertoire Records|Repertoire]], in 2008 by Salvo and by [[Esoteric Recordings]] in 2016.

==Cover art==
The cover is a photo from the record company's archives. It was taken years before to be used for the Move, but had not seen print before this point.<ref name=WizzInt/>

Just as ''[[Shazam (album)|Shazam]]'' was overlooked on store shelves in the wake of Carl Wayne's departure and Wood's new, wild on-stage persona, ''Looking On'' was overlooked in excitement over the debut of the Electric Light Orchestra. Fly chose not to promote it extensively, in part because the Move had left the company to join EMI's new [[Harvest Records]] label shortly after sessions for the album were completed.((cn|date=June 2021))

''Looking On'' was regarded by some critics as uneven, noodling, and self-indulgent.((cn|date=June 2021)) Drummer Bev Bevan told journalist Mark Paytress that even he felt the LP was "ploddy" in the liner notes of the 2008 reissue of the album.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.ftmusic.com/move/lookingon/sleevenotes.html|title=MOVE REMASTER SERIES - LOOKING ON - SLEEVENOTES|website=Ftmusic.com |accessdate=11 May 2019))</ref> "Brontosaurus" was covered by Move fans [[Cheap Trick]], and "Feel Too Good" was later featured on the soundtrack of the movie ''[[Boogie Nights]]'' as well as in the pilot episode of the UK series ''[[Life on Mars (UK TV series)|Life on Mars]]''.
