Watching a trailer for the excellent Music Mongoose's YouTube video on the legendary Roy Wood, and he dropped in a photo of Roy's band Wizzard.

Now, how the heck is Richard Hammond in Wizzard?

The Move - California Man
The Move - California Man YouTube video by thecatkeaton

As mentioned in the birthday post for Robin Zander, "California Man" was written by Roy Wood of The Move. The track is on their compilation LP, 'Split Ends,' released in 1972. And yes, that is Jeff Lynne (of E.L.O. fame) on vocals/keys.

Electric Light Orchestra - 'ELO 2' (1972) (2003 remaster)

#ElectricLightOrchestra second album, recorded while #RoyWood left the band. #JeffLynn leads #ELO on five proggy, rough sounding and brilliant performed pieces. 'Kuiama' is some sort of epic. #ELOthon

The Rain Came Down On Everything
The Rain Came Down On Everything YouTube video by Roy Wood - Topic

As it's now officially* Roy Wood Thursday - like Jeff Lynne who had a penchant for songs with Blue in the title, Roy used Rain as a metaphor & a part of many of his songs.
Here's another classic from his fantastic Mustard album.

Here's another absolute belter of a late period Roy Wood song from probably his most underated (some would say lost)solo album.

More than just Christmas everyday: Wizzard frontman Roy Wood’s 20 best songs – ranked! He’ll be forever known for his festive hit, but Wood was virtually the face of 70s glam rock – writing and performing stomping hits with the Move, ELO and Wizzard

As ever with Petridis, he brings musical acumen and dazzling prose to a songwriter curiously overlooked by the uber-trendy listenership:

This is a cracking list of Roys finest. I could probably swap one or two from across his impressive back catalogue - however that would be quite picky considering this covers the big hits & hidden gems.

Honestly, the last thing I really need right now is another 45 RPM single but how could I leave behind this (beautiful condition vinyl) promo of The Move's classic baroque psychedelic pop single "Blackberry Way"? 

Found at Grooves Records (here in San Grancisco) yesterday when I was having fun chatting with a young (i suspect newish) employee there who I'd not met before. He was playing (and grooving on) ELO's A New World Record. He was just getting into them and loved that album.  If you know this shop, that is probably the last thing you'd typically expect to hear being played there so it was refreshing. 

I of course launched into enthusiastic preaching about the glories of The Move and The Idle Race, even pulling out records from around the store for him to check out. Along the way I found this so it had to come home. 

I assumed this single was a reissue from around the time of A&M's "The Best Of The Move" 2LP compilation but Discogs pegs this as a 1968 issue.

Also found a promo of Wizzard's "See My Baby Jive" which it turns out I already had (sigh).

Happy birthday Roy Wood, most famously of Wizzard. How I loved his mad hair and makeup when I was little. And he lived up the road near Wimbledon Village which was very exciting for me too #roywood #wizzard #glamrock
