Description

This auction is for an original Magic Carpet LP (Mushroom 200 MR 20) by UK Magic Carpet band released in 1972 on the Mushroom label. It has been carefully kept since the time of release and has not been played, therefore in mint condition. The cover is in excellent condition considering its vintage, with no creases and only slight signs of age. The inner paper sleeve has become slightly browned with age. Please see photos.

Magic Carpet band created a unique sound at the time, blending European contemporary folk sounds of Alisha Sufit with the skilled sitar playing of Clem Alford, plus guitar by Jim Moyes and tabla by Keshav Sathe. 

One reviewer writes: "Based around the classically trained sitar virtuoso Clem Alford and the breathtaking ethereal vocalist Alisha Sufit, Magic Carpet delivered perhaps one of the finest Indian-influenced psychedelic folk albums of the 1970's. Unfortunately this supremely talented collective split before the album was released. (  . . . ) This psych folk gem is a unique and extraordinary fusion of east and west, Magic Carpet being one of the very first bands to truly combine Indian and western instrumentation, with Jim Moyes playing guitar and Keshav Sathe on Tabla."
