Following
much success with his Sparmac Productions
label through until 1973, Robbie Porter formed a new partnership with
Steve Binder later that year resulting in the Wizard label. Some of Australia's
best known performers recorded for the label, from long established acts
to major new successes, none more so than Marcia Hines, though in reality
most of her records came out on Wizard's soul/R & B subsidiary Miracle
Records. Wizard also re-issued much of the Sparmac catalogue which
Porter still owned. Porter still has the master tapes of many Sparmac/Wizard
recordings which have subsequently never been released. |
