about

Spit / Fire and Spittle Records are proud to present 'Cast A Spell', the complete work on double CD by MAGIC POTION, one of the most compelling independent italian bands coming all the way from the Eternal city.
An iconic underground band, a psychedelic cult spawn on the second half of the years' 80.

'Cast A Spell' traces the history of the band from the early days to dissolution, passing through the two albums 'Four Wizards In Your Tea' and 'Misplaced In Your Perfect World' released respectively in 1988 and 1989, the single' I Live With The Monks' from 1987 plus unreleased stuff.
Poised between the British psychedelia of the Sixties (from Syd Barrett Pink Floyd to cult group such as Open Mind, which eventually suggested the name of the band) and the 80’s revival of US bands such as Dream Syndicate, the band crafted a very own songbook.


The double CD is complemented by a rich booklet with the history of the band, photographs and memorabilia.
