Dear All,
I was a real fan of Principal Edwards Magic Theatre during those heady days of 1969. I remmember vivdly the first time I heard them on John Peel's 'Top Gear' in 1969 and they really blew me away! They were a classic example of what was good about creative progressive music in the late 1960's. I saw them about half a dozen times during their very short existence and on each occassion they were brilliant. In 1969 I was 18, I am now 55 and still listen to the music from that era. I have sadly lost their LP's that I once had but writing on this site has convinced me I must re- order them.
great to reminisce

I saw Principle Edward's Magic Theatre at Hatfield Polytechnic in 1970. I had two of their LPs, but sadly have lost them in my many house moves.
They were a wonderful live band, and I'd love to be able to find their music again on vinyl or CD.

Hi Dan
Just thought I would let you know I saw Principle Edwards Magic Theatre in Kettering around 1969, amazing. There is a re-release CD out, if and when I find it I will let you know.
