It has Magic Potion/ Cast a Spell on side A
and
The Drag Set - Day and Night/ Get Out of My Way on side B
Per Discogs;
British rock band from London from the late 1960s. Originally called The Apaches, later renamed to The Drag Set and eventually called The Open Mind.
The Drag Set, a mod band, changed their name to the Open Mind in late 1967 to reflect the non-judgmental receptiveness of the psychedelic era. After appearing at London's legendary venues like Middle East, the UFO Club, the Electric Garden (supporting Pink Floyd on opening night!)Speakers: Polk Lsim, ATC SCM19 v2, NHT SuperzeroSpeaker Cables: DH Labs, Transparent, Wireworld, Canare, Monster: Beer budget, Bose ears -

Nice score SIHAB! That's what got me into vinyl 20 years ago. Most of my collection was priced similarly. After some time, I gave up around here because the GW bins were mostly empty for years and the prices kept going up. Glad your location still has some gems.

I can't remember if I posted this before, but this "Rewind That" album from Christian Scott, is worth seeking out. Excellent all around. I heard it on Radio Paradise one evening, and went to eBay the next day to get the CD.

-
It's a "relaxed" recording but still very nice. Thanks for sharing that one.
Tom~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~ -
This was one of the best early CD purchases that I made! Still listening to it 38 years later at least once a year.

-
Another great set of purchases...
The entire set of Police Studio Albums on 2-ch SACD (no Redbook layer) Each was the going price on BMG at the time. $6.99? (2006 era) Something like that... Ripped to server thanks to a Sony Blu-ray player and the guys at Audiophile Style.
-
It's not a night of Police if you don't hear one of their songs with the "Chah/Jump" vocal assault (timestamp 2:22 on this one).

-
Agree Bill! The Police stuff on SACD is very good I've got all of them. I too bought mine when Best Buy was selling SACD/DVD-Audio, remember that? I think I paid less than $12 ea. They have really jumped in price in the last 10yrs.
