THE MAGIC CHRISTIANS If You Want It (Rare 1969 UK first pressing 7" vinyl single with intact four prong centre & 'Apple Music' publishing credit, also including Nats, Major Minor company paper sleeve. An interesting story, this one, as the singlewas re-issued no fewer than two weeks later with its more familiar title 'Come And Get It' and a 'Northern Songs' publishing credit. Written by Paul McCartney, who had been commissioned to write the theme song for 'The Magic Christian' film&produced by Gary Wright of Spooky Tooth. The remaining songs for the soundtrack were to be written by Denny Laine and Trevor Burton, who are both believed to form part of 'The Magic Christians'. The B-Side is indeed written by Trevor Burton. The band that were eventually used in the film were The Iveys [as Badfinger], along with Thunderclap Newman, and the earlier Denny Laine / Trevor Burton songs were scrapped. This single is likely to be from those first film score sessions that were eventually replaced by the Badfinger versions, whose own rendition of 'Come And Get It' was released a week later & produced by Paul McCartney. A very sixties curio & now very hard to find, this copy is in fantastic near 'as new' condition! MM673) more...
