After the album "Eleventh Hour" in 1983, Birmingham's melodic hardrockers Magnum hit the charts and big arenas with their breakthrough album in 1985. They had parted with their former recordcompany Jet and keyboardplayer Mark Stanway had left the band to play with Thin Lizzy-singer in his band Grand Slam. Drummer Kex Gorin had also left to play with Robin George. Mark returned in time for the recording of this album. New drummer was Jim Simpson. The album immediatelly reached nr. 24 on the british charts and stands as one of the classic hardrock-albums of the 1980's and have played a big role in my life, I still enjoy these songs very very much and had the pleasure to see Magnum live this year in 2014, they still rock even though Bob Catley and Tony Clarkin are in their mid-60's! For me Magnum have always been around. Listen to this album and end up in musical heaven!
