Album notes

“Could it Be Magic” was, in fact, inspired by the melody & chord progressions from the 20th (#20 in C Minor) out of 24 Preludes via Chopin's Prelude in C Minor Op. 28.
The version of "Ready To Take A Chance Again" presented here is the monaural single version.
Due to CD limitations in place at the time, "Jump Shout Boogie" was omitted from all CD versions of this album
