At last the glorious 1968 LP by The Magic Mixture gets the proper
legit reissue Originally released on Saga, this superb piece of
psychedelic freakbeat should be in every record collection sharing
section with UK psych gods like July, Skip Bifferty, Forever Amber,
Five Day Week Straw People, The Open Mind and the likes Even
though according to The Tapestry Of Delights book the Saga LPs
are supposed to have been recorded at a school premises rather
than in a proper studio, this album has become a classic of the
genre on its own, containing some killer psychedelic sounds
delivered mainly by the guitar of leader Jim Thomas and his
bandmate Stan Curtis' organ riffs The line up was completed with
Jack Collins on drums and Melvyn Hacker on bass guitar The
songs are all original Magic Mixture compositions, and they are all
excellent samples of what was going on in the UK when the genres
who had been en vogue during the sixties (modern jazz, folk, R&B,
pop) were all put into the same cauldron in the search of a special
mixture, eventually obtaining some great pop tunes played with a
freakbeat edge and some early psychedelic sounds, all pretty
simple and without many gimmicks or studio trickery, but
amazingly lovely and very cool It is one of the most sought after
Saga releases and one that commands high sums when it shows
up on eBay Wah Wah's is the first ever legit reissue, with best
sound quality and best sleeve quality ever, considering the Saga
releases were all low budget pressed on recycled vinyl!
