Move to Move is the debut album by Kon Kan, released in 1989 on Atlantic Records.[2] It spawned the singles "I Beg Your Pardon", "Harry Houdini", "Puss N' Boots" and "Move to Move". The album reached number 69 in Canada.[3] "I Beg Your Pardon" was a top 20 hit in at least six countries, going top 5 in the UK and the Netherlands.
