Ambitious, controversial, Something Magic is the final album from Procol Harum’s 60s/70s incarnation. Recorded in Miami, and distinguished by fine new organist Pete Solley, it features classic Brooker/Reid songs like the title track and Strangers in Space, as well as The Worm and the Tree. Of particular note are two live bonus cuts recorded on Procol’s arrival in Florida: You’d Better Wait and This Old Dog have not been heard on record before.
This 40th Anniversary Edition is digitally remastered from the original Master tapes and includes 3 bonus tracks (2 previously unreleased). Packaged in a Mini LP style cover with a 24 page booklet containing in-depth liner notes.
