Band of the Royal Scots type of thing". Multi-segmented in composition, the closing song "Get on Down Home" is Wood's tribute to Led Zeppelin, featuring a heavy metal style and a two-minute drum solo in the style of John Bonham. Release and promotion Although the studio dispute delayed release of Mustard, Wood had been discussing the album in interviews for almost two years before its eventual appearance. Having left Harvest Records, Wood signed to Jet Records in 1975 for the record's release. In November, Record Mirror & Disc ran a competition in which participants could win copies of Wood's albums, a Mustard T-shirt, a one-gallon jar of Colman's mustard with Wood's autograph, a stereo system and a trip to London to meet Wood. The Colman's mustard giveaway was arranged by Jet Records in co-operation with the brand. Wood chose "Looking Thru the Eyes of a Fool" as the lead single from Mustard for release the same month. In a turn of fortunes for Wood, it failed to chart in the United Kingdom or the United States, where Wood was still signed to United Artists Records. Ray Fox-Cumming of Record Mirror & Disc said the single was "lost in the Christmas rush" and could have been more successful if Wood performed it on Top of the Pops. Wood felt the song would have sounded "a mess" to Radio 1 listeners who did not own stereo radios and thus could not appreciate the "things whizzing about all over the place", and wished in hindsight he had "put a good Tony Blackburn mix on it". When released in December 1975, Mustard similarly failed to appear on the UK Albums Chart or US Billboard 200. This was in stark contrast to Boulders, which was a UK Top 20 album two years earlier. Biographer Bruce Eder wrote that both albums "were too idiosyncratic to achieve major followings". A further single, "Any Old Time Will Do", was released in May 1976 with "The Rain Came Down on Everything" or "Why Does a Pretty Girl Sing Those Sad Songs" variably included as the B-side, and continued Wood's string of non-charting singles. Despite the album's under-performance, Wood told Fox-Cumming in a March 1976 interview that he considered Mustard to be better than Boulders, as well as containing stronger production. He added: "When I did Boulders it was the first and I'd got no yardstick to measure it by."
