 | Shazam by The Move
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £6.34 Side 1 of Wood songs, Side 2 of covers, it's all great. There's rollicking pop majesty, sublime acoustic work-outs, mad sitar drones, fabulous vocals lead and back, haunting yearning, etc, etc,etc.
|
 | Wizzard Brew by Roy Wood
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £10.07 Sonic masterpiece. Avante-garde white noise every-instrument-under-the sun collection of rock & rollish pieces, dominated by percussion, cellos, electronic saxes and guitar. No singles, originally!
|
 | Mustard by Roy Wood
Buy used from: £34.90 Almost too mad a mix--motown, Andrews Sisters, metal, beach boys, classical, and bagpipes. Sad Songs, The Song, Interlude, Rain On Everyone: these are wonderful.
|
 | Message from the Country by The Move
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.73 Wonderfully entertaining mixture of brass, bass, woodwind, rhythm. Comedy, beauty, melody, it's all there.
|
 | Looking on (remastered) by The Move
Buy new: £14.19 / Used from: £4.33 Underestimated classic, not just 'heavy rock'. Lynne tracks weak. Feel Too Good: double-tracked drums, fine bar piano, thrilling horn break-a stomping Move classic. LookingOn--haunting and beautiful.
|
 | Boulders by Roy Wood
Buy used from: £12.99 Strangely wistful, eclectic, melodic record of many highlights (and the first LP I ever bought!). Miss Clark will break your heart.
|
 | The Electric Light Orchestra by The Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.30 Much criticised LP has many moments of dark sonic beauty--brilliantly scratchy cello work, keening hunting horns, old piano, acoustic guitars and mournful oboe. Lynne's 10538 the show-stealer tho!
|
 | Introducing Eddy & the Falcons by Roy Wood & Wizzard
Buy used from: £39.99 Loving homage to 50s rock and pop, plus the last great Wizzard single, the swooning 'Story of my Love'. Bonus tracks include their best single Rock & Roll Winter.
|
 | The Move by The Move
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £3.98 Re-issue has 29 tracks including cosmic pop wonders Fire Brigade and I Can Hear The Grass Grow; full of singles and potential singles, and a myriad of mini-marvels. Wonderful.
|
 | Main Street by Roy Wood & Wizard
Buy used from: £38.14 A warm, warming variety of pop rock jazziness, full of variety and joy: title track a pure masterpiece of melody.
|
 | On the Road Again by Roy Wood
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £15.00 Woody in great form in late 70s: funny, melodic and lovable, including pop classics Hands on Wheel and Rainbow's End as well as stompers, jigs and singalongs--fab.
|
 | Annie in Wonderland by Annie Haslam
Buy used from: £50.82 In 76 Roy produced, co-wrote and played on girlfriend's record; her pure clean voice not to all tastes, but always an interesting eclectic record, including wondrous pop R&A duet 'never believed'.
|
 | Super Active Wizzo by Roy Wood's Wizzo Band
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £10.30 Their lost 77 TV showcase was astounding; this never released the potential, as good songs (all better live) get dulled in a poor production--great riffs simmer throughout.
|
 | Beyond The Move - 1973-2003 by Carl Wayne
Buy new: £12.69 Roy writes and produces about half: good entertainment, and Hazel Eyes is one of Woody's most mesmeric classics.
|
 | Starting Up by Roy Wood
Buy used from: £12.00 Poor shame, the only Woody record not worth having.

Listmania!
