One of those episode where you literally do not want to miss a word and keep having to spool back a few seconds

Roy Wood has my favourite voice of the 1970s in Wizzard. Such an amazing tone to his voice. "See My Baby Jive". Classic.

Can't begin to explain how important all of Roy's projects have been to me over the years. The Move didn't really hit the US until rather late, but I quickly went to their back catalogue and instantly recognized Roy's genius. Thanks for doing this one.

[@redstrat1234]

Absolutely. His music arrangements are incredible. Boulders is a great album.

[@shawnmcvey7789]

Boulders gets all the love but Mustard is a fantastic album.

[@charlesnolan7602]

I remember buying a copy of On The Road Again after reading a good review in Trouser Press. I was in grade 9 and worked backwards chronologically from there. Got everything.

ah this is soo great! What a lovely man! Merry Xmass

[@stealth1959]

Excellent show as usual keep them coming

I read he had to re record the Christmas single in the 80s as the master tape had been lost and they wanted to re release it.

[@AB-nw5un]

Don’t understand why Roy doesn’t get the air play he deserves these days, he’s a legend.

[@colinfuidge8660]

Brilliant interview and Roy is an epic character. I saw The Move/Wizzard in about 2003 and they were truly amazing. I was wearing a purple crushed velvet suit and giant silver platform boots full of mdma. I was full of mdma, not the boots. An epic experience. The flowers in the rain story is a disgrace but, from what i understand, at least all the money went to charity.
