Magic Box present a reissue of Hemlock's self-titled album, originally released in 1973. Hemlock was formed by guitarist Miller Anderson after leaving the Keef Hartley Band, and featured the superb organ playing of Mick Weaver (ex-Grease Band). Their gutsy, soulful brand of blues-rock found favor with audiences in America, where they supported the likes of Uriah Heep and Savoy Brown, but they struggled to connect with audiences back home. Their sole LP was released in October 1973, when they embarked on a promo UK tour. However, they fell apart after playing only a few dates, dooming their album to obscurity. It makes its long-awaited return to vinyl here, together with an insert containing background notes and images.

Magic Box present a reissue of Locomotive's We Are Everything You See, originally released in 1969. Led by the legendary Norman Haines, Locomotive were one of Birmingham's finest '60s bands. They had a 1968 hit with the ska-styled "Rudi's In Love", but by 1969 they had taken a more progressive direction. Their sole album was produced by Gus Dudgeon (renowned for his work with David Bowie and Elton John), but its release was delayed and the band had split by the time it finally appeared at the turn of the decade, dooming it to minuscule sales. It is now regarded as a lost classic, and is one of the most collectible albums of the era. It makes its long-overdue return to vinyl here, together with an insert containing photos and info. Features keyboardist Norman Haines. Original flipback cover.
