A Wizzard entry

One of the shining stars of my boyhood was Roy Wood, Founder of The Move, Co-founder with Jeff Lynne of the Electric Light Orchestra and who had a separate career  as both lead singer of Wizzard and a solo one.

Wizzard's tv performances on Supersonic and Top of the Pop's were amongst the most colourful of that era as we tuned into to see them as well as Slade, the Sweet, Mud, Gary Glitter, Suzy Quatro and many many others.

In 1985 I bought this The Best of Roy Wood on cassette as it had most of those hits from 1970 upto 1974 such as California Man, Angel Fingers, My Baby Jive, Forever and the 1973 crimbo smash I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday  but recently replaced it with a record copy.
