Split Ends is a compilation album by English rock band The Move, released in December of 1972. It was the group's first release under the United Artists label. It was only released in the United States and Canada.
Split Ends mostly consists of songs from the band's previous album, Message from the Country, but also features several singles made by the band around that time, such as Chinatown, California Man, and the hit Do Ya.
According to Richie Unterberger, Split Ends is a more improved version of the band's previous album, Message from the Country, with many of the weak songs being replaced by some of the band's singles.[2] The single Do Ya, released in this album, was rated as "single of the year" by the rock press.
