    **MONSTER boogie anthem reissued on 45!**

    A clubland favourite amongst boogie and soul fans, Circle City Band’s ’Magic’ is made available on 45, coupled for the first time with the band’s follow-up single ‘My Place’.

    Originally released in 1983 on Tyscot sub-label Circle City Records, ’Magic’ was a best-selling single in the band’s hometown Indianapolis. Whilst making waves across the Midwest US R&B charts, it became a popular import in the UK and a staple for DJs, often being described as one of the best Slave soundalikes from the early 80s with its classic bass groove and appeal.
