Wizzard Brew

Recorded
Released

While there were plenty of examples of glam rock stars who had killer singles but sometimes uneven albums, when it came to Wizzard it almost seemed like it was the work of two different bands that shared a thoroughly brilliant main figure. The 2006 reissue of the first Wizzard album is the best of both worlds; the original Wizzard Brew tracks were elaborate and unusual creations, but the addition of killer singles like “See My Baby Jive,” “Angel Fingers” and their immortal “I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day” as bonus tracks makes it a clear standout.
