Expanded edition of Gillan's final studio album Features eight b onus tracks appearin g for the first time on vinyl Pressed on 140g r ed vinyl in gatefold sleeve Magic is the sixth and final studio album by the English rock band Gillan, released in September 1982. Possibly the band's most musically adventurous effort, Magic leans heavily on keyboards, giving it a sleek, polished sound. It stands as one of Gillan's most intriguing records. Lyrically, the album follows a central theme: Ian Gillan was mapping out his next steps. The concepts explored here revolve around escape and rebirth fitting, as shortly after Magic's release and supporting tour, the band disbanded, and Ian Gillan went on to join Black Sabbath for their Mk II reunion shows. This expanded edition comprises of two discs. Disc one features the original Magic album including eight original tracks, co written by Ian Gillan and Colin Towns, along with a cover of Stevie Wonder's 1973 hit Living for the City. Disc two features eight B sides, album outtakes and an Ian Gillan solo single released in 1988 called South Africa. All this bonus material is appearing for the first time on vinyl. Now available on 140g red vinyl, presented in a gatefold sleeve.
