Spit / Fire and Spittle Records 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 '80s revival of US bands such as Dream Syndicate, the band crafted a very own songbook. Cast A Spell collects for the very first time on a double-CD the twenty-five tracks published on vinyl by the quartet, plus thirteen extra tracks including nine unreleased so far: demos, live recordings and a cover of Open Mind's "Cast A Spell" specially engraved in 2021. The double-CD is complemented by a rich booklet with the history of the band, photographs and memorabilia.
