YES! 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!

First ever official reissue, taken from the master tapes and pressed in a limited run of only 500 copies!!!


¡SÍ! Por fín el glorioso LP de 1968 grabado por The Magic Mixture es reeditado oficialmente. Originalmente aparecido en Saga, esta soberbia pieza de freakbeat psicodélico debería estar en odas las colecciones de discos compatriendo estante con dioses de la psicodélia UK de la talla de July, Skip Bifferty, Forever Amber, Five Day Week Straw People, The Open Mind y similares.

A pesar que según el libro The Tapestry Of Delights los LPs de Saga fueron grabados en una escuela tras las clases en lugar de en un estudio como Dios manda, este LP se ha convertido en un clásico por méritos propios, conteniendo fantásticos sonidos psicodélicos, generados básicamente por la guitarra del líder de la banda Jim Thomas y los riffs de órgano de su colega Stan Curtis. La formación la completaban Jack Collins a la batería y Melvyn Hacker al bajo. Las composiciones son originales de Magic Mixture y son excelentes muestras de lo que aconteció en UK cuando los géneros que habían estado en voga durante los sesenta (modern jazz, folk, R&B, pop...) fueron mezclados en una misma marmita a la búsqueda de un sabor especial, obteniéndose finalmente un puñado de grandes canciones pop con actitud freakbeat y sonidos psicodélicos, sencillo y sin grandes trucos de estudio, pero efectivo, encantador y muy elegante.
