      Final album from Mystic Merlin and it's a stone cold classic. Mr. Magician is the obvious choice here, but I'm a big fan of Rock The World, which is only available on this LP. The fact that it only had the one US pressing (apparently it was released in Nigeria as well) adds a level of rarity to it. Still relatively affordable but feels like it could go scarce at any moment. Grab a copy while you can, should be a part of any 80s boogie collection.

        Anyone noticed the moon on the cover is not... full ?? For some reason probably, but I miss the point...
