Roy Wood The Wacky Wizzard
Phil Sutcliffe, Sounds, 8 May 1976
ROY WOOD IS: the wild man of Brummio who terrifies your parents whenever he's let loose on the antiseptic air-time of Top Of The Pops with his neanderthal hairstyle, tribal warpaint and the loony look in his eye.
They think: he hasn't washed for a month!
