DADDYKIN HAD THIS TO SAY WHEN HE SHARED THIS LP:
"Hi. This is one of the more obscure Filmation soundtracks. "Mission Magic" aired for one season in 1973/1974, and featured an animated version of teen idol Rick Springfield. Rick had enjoyed a Top 10 U.S. single the year before with "Speak to the Sky."
The cartoon centered on a school teacher named Miss Tickle, who would take her students on magical adventures as part of their lessons. It's on these "magic trips" (nudge nudge, wink wink) that she enlists the aid of Rick (as himself) to help them when they encounter trouble. The cartoon itself is pretty trippy, with bright psychedelic colors and designs used as backdrops for the musical numbers.
Rick penned and performed all the songs on the series, and it's good gum. To me, it's his best work. The LP, highly collectible and long out-of-print, was reissued on CD in 2004. I think the CD is now OOP as well. I give you the CD version, with a bonus track of "Speak to the Sky." Enjoy!

Kind of bubble-gum-ee- but I like the music. It's kind of cool that Rick Springfield wrote all these songs for that show. He's come a long way in his career and I'm so glad to have had the chance to see him live in concert recently!
