Message from the Country is the fourth and final studio album by the Move, as well as the group's only album for EMI's Harvest label. It was recorded simultaneously with the first Electric Light Orchestra album, The Electric Light Orchestra (or No Answer as it was called in the United States).

Recorded due to a contractual obligation with EMI for one more Move album, its release signaled the end of The Move (except for three final singles), allowing the band to transition into the Electric Light Orchestra.
