Synopsis

Album Description

This greatest hits collection brings together his outstanding work for the first time on one album, featuring classic tracks such as Wizzard's first single, 'Ballpark Incident' which was a top 10 hit for the band in 1972, as well as their number 1's 'See My Baby Jive' and its follow up, 'Angel Fingers'. With a selection of ELO and The Move hits also included, the album is a brilliant retrospective of Wood's exceptional career and even highlights the track he is sometimes best known for, 'I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday' which reached number 4 in the UK chart in 1973 and is still rolled out every year during the festive season. 20 total tracks. EMI.

CD Reviews

A nearly forgotten pop genius

L. Frascella | New York, NY USA | 06/03/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Roy Wood's work with The Move, ELO, solo and with Wizzard is amazingly robust and inventive. He remains his peculiar self while channeling everyone from the Beatles to Phil Spector to the Beach Boys to Carl Perkins etc. You name it--Wood is a human jukebox. His work with Wizzard especially reaches the phantasmogorical. This is big, daring, rocking, tuneful, ambitious, sometimes dangerous stuff--postmodern before its time. And three decades later, it still sounds fresh and exciting."
