Sorry, not sure how to embed. I found the article linked above inside a copy of the Move's Shazam. It is interesting reading... Roy saw ELO very much as his own concept.

Colin Malam has a palindrome for a last name.

I guess the Rick Price band mentioned must be Mongrel..?
I actually am not sure which paper this came from, but given that this record was from a family member in Birmingham, I am guessing the Birmingham Post & Mail. If what Roy says here is right (that he was planning ELO from 3 years before) then the idea must have come up during the recording of the first Move LP, which does indeed have some orchestration on it.

Mongrel had some good songs.

Great find!
I thought the sentence that Jeff Lynne "does not regard himself as having joined The Move as such" particularly interesting. I always knew he wouldn't have joined unless Roy had been developing ELO, but that Jeff didn't even think of himself as a member of the Move is pretty odd.
