Saturnalia was an British psychedelic band, whose sole album was the first 3D picture disc and has therefore become highly collectable. It also gained a certain amount of notoriety[citation needed] by featuring the band members topless on one side of the picture disc.
The band, including former members of the band Horse, went on a headlining tour of the UK, culminating in a performance at London's Rainbow Theatre. The tour was not a financial success and the band disbanded soon afterwards.

[edit] Magical Love
The LP Magical Love was produced by former Yardbird Keith Relf, and it was first released in 1973 (not 1969 as erroneously stated elsewhere),[citation needed] having several reissues being done later (by Italian Akarma label for example). The album contains slightly occult themed Psychedelic early progressive rock, resembling Jefferson Airplane with their similar male/female double vocals and West Coast psych sounding guitar tones.
The definitive versions of “Magical Love” album have a 28-page booklet about cosmology (written by Richard Gardner & Tammo de Jongh) and 'free love'.
The album was the second ever picture disc[citation needed] (following Curved Air's Airconditioning).
