MESSAGE FROM THE MAGIC

Never before released on CD Re-Mastered from the ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES at Battery Studio s New York by Sony s Sean Brennan. Liner Notes by Alex Henderson The First time ever on CD for Blue Magic s 1977 Album Message From The Magic Features Al McKay and Philip Bailey Produced by Skip Scarborough Blue Magic's 1978 Atco/Atlantic LP Message was produced by Skip Scarborough (Earth Wind and Fire, LTD's "Love Ballad," Creative Source) and is a favorite of soft soul enthusiasts. Most of the LP's songs were co-written by the group. An album that's definitely on the mellow side, one reason for its lack of huge commercial success may have been that it was released at the height of disco. No matter, the LP brims with great make-out music: the majestic ballads "Still in Love With You," "Sweet Woman," the samba-flavored "Can't Get You off My Mind," and the glockenspiel clop, clop-laced slow jam "Lady in My World of Love." Blue Magic picks up the tempo a bit on the optimistic "Message." Those who loved the group's two gold singles, "Sideshow" and "Three Ring Circus," won't be disappointed.
