Notes

Released on the Buddah (Multi-color) label and distributed by Barclay in France as "Volume 8*" of Eddie Barclay's "Super Group" albums series.

*As was often the case with Barclay packaging, a number of print errors occur;
The cover shows "Volume 8" and the word "Majic" instead of "Magic", the labels show "Volume 7" and the band titled correctly. The track list refers to "Vanderer" instead of "Wanderer" for A2.
The Barclay Listing for their 'Series' on the b/cover agrees with "7" as the volume.

This was the first issue of the album in the French market. The cover features a PR shot from the filmed performance the band did on Cannes beach at the 1968 MIDEM Pop Festival. (Footage of this can be seen on the multimedia CD in the "Grow Fins" box set).

This release was supported Barclay's 1970 distribution of the French single <a href="" target="_blank">Sure 'Nuff 'N Yes I Do</a>, using the original Guy Webster band photo on picture sleeve.

THE COVER IS ONE OF THOSE FOREIGN THIN TYPES. HAS SOME RING WEAR, YELLOWING ON THE BACK, A FEW INCHES SEAM SPLIT, A STICKER ON THE BACK ALONG WITH A VARIETY OF OTHER AILMENTS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO: RICKETS, MALARIA, HALITOSIS, GINGEVITOS, THE CLAP AND NATURALLY SINCE IT'S BEEN LIVING HERE IN MARYLAND HAS CONTRACTED CRABS. THIS IS THE REASON THAT A GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET IS INCLUDED FOR THE ACTUAL RECORD FOR YOUR OWN PROTECTION.

HOWEVER, THE RECORD IS ACTUALLY A HEAVY PRESSING. THERE'S SOME SURFACE MARKS THAT DIDN'T TRANSLATE TO ANY SERIOUS AUDIO PROBLEMS SUCH AS CLICKS OR SKIPS WHEN I PLAYED BOTH SIDES ENTIRELY ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE HOOKED UP TO A HEAD AMP BEFORE IT GOES TO MY PIONEER SPEC 1 PREAMP. . SPEC 4 AMP IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING. BASICALLY THE RECORD PLAYED WITH LIGHT SURFACE NOISE THAT I'D EXPECT ON A 45 YEAR OLD IMPORT RECORD ANYWAY. THE RECORD ALSO COMES IN A HIGH QUALITY TYPE OF PLASTIC LINED INNER SLEEVE AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT, I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE.
