Roy Wood - Instrumental In His Success (1982)

Roy Wood has had a hugely influential career that's spanned over 50 years, being involved with The Move, The Electric Light Orchestra, Wizzard, and The Wizzo Band, as well as having a string of solo hit singles in the 70's. I used to buy all his singles, and soon came to realise that he didn't stint on value, as there was always a fantastic instrumental track on the b-side. Some of them have stuck with me all these years later, and so I decided to gather them all together into one mostly instrumental collection.
