		Roy Wood [+], born Ulysses Adrian Wood in Birmingham, England, has long been regarded as one of the most important, if eccentric, rock musicians to have come out of that city, primarily for his role as the leader/co-founder of both the Move and the Electric Light Orchestra.
		Wood took up the guitar in his early teens, and the first "successful" band of which he was a member was Gerry Levene and the Avengers, which actually got to record a single.
		By 1971, Wood had developed ideas and ambitions that were too wide to be embraced by any one band, and proposed the formation of an offshoot of the Move called the Electric Light Orchestra.

	The Move Online: Goldmine Interview with Roy Wood
		Roy Wood: Within the first six months of having a guitar I was in a band becausethere were a lot of guys that lived in the local area that had guitars.
		Roy Wood: Tony Secunda got involved because the first gig we did was the Belfry in Birmingham and the guy that used to promote that he did quite a lot of gigs around.
		Roy Wood: I wanted Wizzard, when we first started, to be a rock 'n' roll band because I didn't want to form another band like ELO because we would have always been in opposition to each other and people would have always been comparing the two.

	Roy Wood
		Fourth, Wood is a rather brave experimentalist, never content with the achieved results, and an innovator as well: he might not have revolutionized rock music in any of its forms, but it was he, after all, that pioneered the 'symph-rock' sound by audaciously hybridizing hard rock with string arrangements.
		Roy Wood was the band's main songwriter, and a very talented one at that; despite that, for some strange reason all of the three selections on the second side are covers, and not all of them are good.
		Wood opens the album with the best song - the stately, pompous 'It Wasn't My Idea To Dance', complete with a pile of mystical imagery in the lyrics and a marching rhythm that seems to be based on bagpipes; apparently, the guys were fooling around with the Mellotron.

	The Roy Wood Story (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		It always seemed that Wood and The Move had to really bust a gut to get what they wanted while The Who appeared to dash off their hits with consummate ease.
		It was the age of the guitar heroes, and it began to look like Wood's complex little songs didn't fit in with the current demands of public taste.
		Next came Wood's short lived association with E.L.O. By now Townshend had wandered off to be Gilbert and Sullivan and the entire songwriter title fight was a thing of the past.

		Roy Wood, Trevor Burton, Carl Wayne, Bev Bevan and Ace Kefford formed The Move with Wood's compositions acknowleging British trends, notably the pyschedelic movement, as well as classical music.
		Wood only stayed for one ELO album as he abandoned classical rock for a more fifties influenced style that he carried over into his group Wizzard.

	Roy Wood - Boulders: Reviews, Track Listing, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		All of his obsessions are here -- classical music, psychedelia, pre-Beatles [+] pop, pastoral folk ballads, absurdist humor, studio trickery, and good old-fashioned rock and roll -- assembled in a gracefully eccentric fashion.
		Boulders [+] is a sonic mosaic -- you can choose to wonder at the little details or gaze at the glorious whole, enjoying the shape it forms.
		Wood has an unerring knack for melodies, whether they're in folk ballads, sweet pop or old-fashioned rock and rollers, yet his brilliance is how he turns the hooks 180 degrees until they're gloriously out of sync with his influences and peers.

		Ultimately, Roy will have the final decision, but it would be good to know what fans would like to see - and why they would want their track choices to be on each compilation.
		Roy wrote many gems in his EMI era, but thinking of the short duration we can include most of the b-sides of course written by Roy on EMI disc.
		Roy's materials are nice in those days, however I have to say there are less hit songs comparing to his EMI days.

		Starting Up is one of Wood's true solo albums where, other than the strings on one song, he sings, plays, and arranges every part.
		Wood's prodigious talents in the other areas help compensate for material that isn't consistently among his best.
		The unconventional instrumentation -- from oboes to bagpipes -- that distinguished other Wood records is absent, lending most of the album a conventional mid-'80s rock sound.
