Welcome to the first ever repress of Magician, by Magician. Named after the TV show (with Bill Bixby) because someone in the band realised that their music was a bit like the music that played when The Magician performed illusions. This marvellous and super cool LP failed to sell when it was released in 1978 for the following reasons: it looks just like a hairy 1971 Prog LP - I mean there are weirdly spooky gargoyley things on the sleeve. Then it sounds like a funky 1973 library LP - all dark and brooding and super wow. But then it came out in 1978! Totally baffling. But trust me, this is an amazing LP, with a superb Brit jazz line up including Barry Morgan and the legendary Barbara Thompson. Originally issued on Hobo, the small label started by Stan Butcher. Sold about ten copies. I have only seen one for sale in about 30 years. You try and find an original. It will not happen. And one final note, NO DIGITAL IS AVAILABLE. JUST VINYL.
