ROY

In 2107, historians will write of the era 1961-1971 as the pinnacle of 20th century musical genius. And who better to exemplify the spirit of that fantastic era then the one man musical army known as Roy Wood. Regarding making new music, the past 25 years have been less than kind to Roy, especially as years after he left The Move and ELO, Wood is still reaping well earned accolades for the mark he made in the 60s and early 70s. On the reissue front, 2007 is a banner year for Roy. A Summer 2007 CD remaster of his famous self-produced pop masterpiece Bouldersfirst released by EMI / Harvest in 1973remains essential. Woods own liner notes chronicle the history of why the albumrecorded at Abbey Road in 1969came out as late as it did. In recent years, there was a splendid looking Japanese LP jacket style CD remaster of Woods Move masterpiece from 1971 Looking On, and EMI did a good job with the Moves 71 classic Message From The Country. I doubt Roys good old buddy Jeff Lynne will be calling his old boss from the Move and early ELO days for a reunion. Even so, its hats off to EMI for at least starting to properly chronicle Roy Woods solo and Move era recordings. www.roywood.co.uk |
