Magic Box (also known by its cover title as The Loved Ones' Magic Box) is the debut and sole album from Australian rock band The Loved Ones. It was released in Australia on the W&G label in 1967.
The album was a compilation of previous songs from the Blueberry Hill EP (omitting 'This Is Love') and the first three singles recorded and released in 1966-67 as well as new songs recorded (in 1967) just for the album. It was one of the first Australian rock albums to be released in stereo.
The album was included in the 2010 book, '100 Best Australian Albums'.
The album was reissued in 1985 on Glenn A. Baker's label Raven Records with a different track order and bouns tracks. However, when the album was remastered only the left hand channel of the stereo master was used. This means some instruments and an intro to 'Sad Dark Eyes' (an electric piano in the right hand channel) are missing on the Raven Records release. The 1995 Karussell compact disc uses the Raven Records master as its source, meaning the true stereo or mono version of Magic Box has never been released on compact disc.
