WIZARD
RECORDS
Independent label: Wizard Records was a short-lived independent
label, formed by Tony Secunda and Jimmy Miller and featuring artists from the
Birmingham area. There was talent at Wizard: Denny Laine, once of the
Moody Blues and afterwards with Wings, made a single and an album for the label,
as did Steve Gibbons, whose band was to chart in 1977/78; another Wizard artist
was Trevor Burton, who had been with the Move and was later to taste Chart
success as part of the Steve Gibbons Band. With drummer Bob Lamb, the
three of them recorded a single together for Wizard, under the name of Balls,
'Fight For My Country'(WIZ-101). With all that potential about, it is
surprising that Wizard lasted such a short time - 1970 to 1973 - and never
conjured up any hits. The label was licensed to EMI, who presumably did
the pressing and distribution. Distributed By Emi Records. Thanks to
