Super Active Wizzo is the only album by the short-lived Wizzo Band, formed by Roy Wood in 1977 to fulfill his more jazz-oriented ambitions.[2] The band also released the two singles "The Stroll", preceding the album, and "Dancin’ At The Rainbow’s End". Neither singles nor album charted and the band split up in 1978.

The line-up included Rick Price (pedal steel guitar), Bob Wilson (trombone), Billy Paul (alto and baritone saxes), Paul Robbins (keyboards, backing vocals), Graham Gallery (bass) and Dave Donovan (drums).[1]

"Waitin' At This Door" was also used as the B-side to "Dancin' At The Rainbow’s End", while "Giant Footsteps" later ended up as the B-side to the Wood solo single "Keep Your Hands On The Wheel".
