Roy Wood: The Move, ELO and Wizzard - On Track ...
From the heart of the country, and the vibrant musical scene that rotated around Britain's 2nd largest city Birmingham, came in the middle of the 1960's a plethora of innovative and creative rock groups. Roy Wood, who together with several well-known Birmingham faces left their respective bands to form The Move (so-named after their musical chairs) with Roy's distinctive song writing style, and the bands unique harmonies. They became regulars on famed British TV show Top of the Pops, having the first ever single to be played on BBC Radio 1. Meanwhile, in Birmingham, Roy's replacement in the Nightriders had established a group of his own, taking his musical vision into psychedelic territories...
Roy Wood
From his early days as guitarist with Mike Sheridan and the Nightriders, Roy Wood was always a major figure on the Birmingham music scene. In 1965 he helped to form The Move, who weathered several line-up changes over the next few years while enjoying a spectacular run of hit singles, notably Flowers In The Rain, the first record ever played on Radio 1, and the No. 1 Blackberry Way. Keen to progress beyond the limitations of a conventional group, he became the co-founder and joint leader of the Electric Light Orchestra with Jeff Lynne. Leaving the band in 1972, he formed the very successful if comparatively shortlived Wizzard, remembered for their No. 1 hit See My Baby Jive and the perennial seasonal favourite I Wish It Could be Christmas Everyday. After they disbanded he maintained a solo career while forming subsequent groups for live performances. The first book to examine his career in detail, it includes a Foreword by Ray Dorset of Mungo Jerry, plus an extensive discography and select bibliography.

La saga de Roy Wood
Le brumbeat est l'appellation censée représenter le courant musical sixties des "brummies", les natifs de Birmingham et, par extension, la scène des Midlands incluant la région minière dite "The Black Country", à l'accent souvent moqué par les Londoniens. En 1965, l'hebdo anglais TV Times claironna que le brumbeat, jusque-là parent pauvre du mersey beat, allait le détrôner : "Liverpool today, Birmingham tomorrow". Le slogan était audacieux et la prophétie se réalisa, au moins en partie : Moody Blues, Spencer Davis Group, Move et Traffic vont cartonner, et les seventies verront la déferlante Electric Light Orchestra et Wizzard. Si l'on y ajoute Slade, Black Sabbath et Judas Priest, l'addition devient lourde... Ce sont tous ces groupes, totalement oubliés ou, au contraire, toujours encensés, que nous vous présentons dans le présent ouvrage.
