Huge Phil Spector's 'wall of sound' influence. Shame he went loco.

not inconsiderable margin. It would seem that nowadays, "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" is more popular with the general record-buying public than "Merry Xmas Everybody".

That guy (Mr Wood, I mean) certainly wasn't lacking in testosterone, back in 1973. I have seldom seen a man more well-endowed (with facial hair, that is)!
It is good to see Roy's "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" back in The Top 30 singles chart. It is actually five places higher than Slade's "Merry Xmas Everybody" in the charts at the moment. There is a certain irony in that; given that, back in December 1973, the Slade Yuletide song outsold the Wizzard single by a n

Woody - split from his evil brother Billy Connolly as a mere infant!, destined at a later date to rule the earth when they eventually discover the truth of their lineage - using their superhuman powers of comedy and multi instrumentalism!

@cbak12sg Thank you for that information, sir.
By the way, did you know that Mr Wood's vintage [1973] album "Wizzard Brew" is currently available on digitally remastered CD? It contains several 'bonus' tracks not contained on the original album, including the superlative "See My Baby Jive" and the immaculate, Spectoresque "Angel Fingers".

@TheEctomorph Yes he did. 10538 Overture was a hit single featuring both Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne.

Excellent. Roy Wood was a very talented singer/songwriter, and made a big impact on the music scene between 1967 and '75. During that period of time, he had MANY Top 10 hits; firstly as a member of The Move, and later as the 'mainman' of Wizzard. He also had a couple of big solo hits, as I recall.
"Angel Fingers" - which topped the charts in September of 1973 - was one of the classic singles of the 'glam rock' era. When Mr Wood recorded this inspired single, he out-Spectored Spector.

Back to the halcyon days of glam rock ...... when teenage hard-nuts and wideboys wore flared trousers, kipper ties and grew mutton-chop sideburns.
"Angel Fingers" was - and remains - a great track. It is right up there with singles like "Metal Guru" (Bolan), "Mama Weer All Crazee Now (Slade) and "Tiger Feet (Mud) in the pantheon of classic glam rock hits from the 1972 - '75 era.
