Magnum
Days Of Thunder
It isn't very often that you are afforded a front row seat at the birth of a legend...but this is one such opportunity! Recorded right back at the start of it all in a pub in Birmingham, UK, this invaluable recording shows the fledgling pomp masters MAGNUM honing the talents that would one day - and not so long after this show took place, if truth be told! - make them rock n' roll household names. Present here are early versions of classics like 'Kingdom Of Madness', 'The Battle' and 'Invasion'. This is a band waiting for its time to arrive and perfecting the skills to make the most of that time when it happens. The genius that is/was Tony Clarkin and the magnificent voice that is Bob Catley are all in place. So are the songs. Step aboard the time machine and enjoy the ride...
