![](images/spacer_FFFFFF.jpg) Review by Gary Hill

Roy Wood came to fame as part of both The Move and Electric Light Orchestra (which basically evolved out of The Move). He put together a band called Wizzard and released some music in the 1970s, this album included. I have to admit that I have a band called "Wizard" in my recent science fiction novel. I came up with that name as a twelve-year old kid in 1975 when I first wrote the book, and had not heard of this act at the time. So, any connection between the two is purely coincidental. This album is a fine example of jazzy prog. It's actually a very strong set, and this new edition is all quality.
