Description

1977
'Something Magic' test pressing [#1 of two similar items]

Island Records, very surprisingly (when published, it was on the Chrysalis label)!

Tracks
(Side A) Something Magic, Skating on Thin Ice, The Mark of the Claw, Strangers in Space

[Wizard Man, a late addition to album's the running order, is not featured on this 24 January 1977 pressing]

(Side B) The Worm And the Tree: (1) Introduction-Menace-Occupation, (2) Enervation-Expectancy-Battle, (3) Regeneration-Epilogue

Signed 'Gary Brooker' with purple Sharpie on B side of album, in my presence at the Brooker residence on 17 September 2021. The record comes from Gary's own collection and was signed for the specific purpose of this auction to fans ... the winner will be the second owner only.

Seemingly unplayed. If marks appear on the photo, they're probably reflections of the photographer's hands etc
GB's handwritten sticky-note clarifies the contents of the record, which comes in a paper sleeve only

We're donating half the takings from this sale to The Royal Marsden Cancer Hospital, at the request of Gary Brooker's widow.

So ... please bid generously !
