Another in a long string of seemingly random Roy Wood comps, but this one has a pretty good tracklisting. Some of his best solo singles, like "Forever," are thrown next to Wizzard's 4 biggest hits (Angel Fingers, Ball Park Incident, See My Baby Jive, Christmas Everyday) in their original versions (Thru The Eyes... is mostly live versions). Then there are two late-period Move singles, "California Man" and "Ella James," both good tracks.

This covers some of Wood's most classic singles, and seems more comprehensive than most of the other goofy-ass compilations.
