Composed by George Martin, "Magic Carpet" was recorded by The Dakotas at EMI Studios, Abbey Road, and released in the UK on Parlophone records in 1963. Hailing from Manchester, and managed by Brian Epstein, The Dakotas were probably best known as the backing band for Billy J. Kramer. However, they were actually a talented group of musicians in their own right. Their most successful single, "The Cruel Sea" reached number 18 in the UK charts in July 1963. It was subsequently recorded by the Ventures as the B-Side to their 1964 release "Walk, Don't Run".
