They temporarily split in 1968 and reformed in 1969. The track was cut by the 1969 line up that featured John Elliott (organ) and lead vocals on 'Dark Side of The Moon', John Chinnery (only original member of The Magic Roundabout) on rhythm guitar/vocals, Ian Hollands on lead guitar (who apparently came up with 'Black Boots' but did not get the credit), Ray Brown (bass/vocals) and Roger Willis (drums/vocals). Brown's predecessor was Roger Flavell who played bass on 'Black Boots'. Flavell ended up playing with Christie, which might explain why it came out under the Outer Limits name. The Magic Roundabout split the year before this single came out, probably another reason why they couldn't use the name (also the TV show, which could have caused problems).<br /><br />Nick WarburtonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
