Biografia:

Com a adição de Gary Wright, a banda "progressiva" Art converteu-se, em outubro de 1967, na Spooky Tooth. Seu melhor momento ocorreu com o single "What's That Sound", que era uma versão requentada da soberba "For What It's Worth", da Buffalo Springfield.

Agora é muito difícil adquirir o disco, mas a canção encontra-se na compilação "You Can All Join In", da Island Records (nota minha: de 1969). O disco longo da banda ostenta um ousado e bastante peculiar rock psicodélico britânico. É muito rudimentar em algumas partes, mas utiliza uma ampla gama de instrumentos, com abundância de efeitos sonoros e diversidade, embora o lado dois mostre-se um pouco indefinido. Guy Stevens cuidou da produção do álbum. Vale a pena ouvi-lo. Antes de virar Art, a banda chamava-se V.I.P.'s (Vernon Joynson, in The Tapestry of Delights - The Comprehensive Guide to British Music of the Beat, R&B, Psychedelic and Progressive Eras 1963-1976. Telford: Borderline Productions, 2006, p. 58; tradução livre do inglês).

(*) LP lançado originalmente em 1968.

Biografia:
Essa banda pop psicodélica do Reino Unido compreendia Jim Thomas (sic) (guitarra e vocais), Jack Collins (bateria), Stan Curtis (órgão) e Melvyn Hacker (baixo). "This Is", seu isolado disco de 1968, é considerado como um dos melhores exemplares do gênero pop psicodélico, com instrumental atrativo, mostrado em faixas como "(I'm So) Sad", "Urge To Leave" e "Slowly The Day". 

Experimentos com humor, notadamente em "Motorbike Song", revelaram-se menos felizes. Infortunadamente, assim como aconteceu com muitos grupos do final dos anos 60, pertencentes ao cast da gravadora Saga Records, o LP da Magic Mixture foi mal prensado e distribuído em pequena quantidade. De qualquer forma, o interesse residual no grupo resultou no relançamento do disco em CD, primeiro pela gravadora alemã Bat Records, em 1987, e, posteriormente, através da gravadora britânica Merlin Records, em 1993. Após a banda extinguir-se, Thomas tornou-se músico profissional e seus antigos companheiros deixaram o ramo da música (AllMusic; tradução livre do inglês).
