#nowplaying Magnum - Vigilante (1986). Produced by Roger Taylor and David Richards which explains why at times this sounded like Queen. It is still a good album with some great songs. #onmyturntable #myrecordcollection #magnumband

#nowplaying Magnum - On A Storyteller’s Night (1985). Their fifth, biggest selling and my favourite album. #onmyturntable #myrecordcollection #magnumband

#nowplaying Magnum - Chase The Dragon (1982). This was their third studio album. It contains the songs Soldier of the Line and The Spirit which would become live staples. My copy is the 1988 reissue on FM Revolver. #onmyturntable #myrecordcollection #magnumband

Iltapäivän Discogs-arpa antoi tylsähköä stadionrokkia.
En oikein osaa sanoa mikä tässä mättää, mutta ei nyt oikein lähe.

Aika jenkkiä brittibändiksi.

Magnum - Goodnight L.A., 1990

RIP Tony, ein mehr als würdiger Abschied! Von dieser Variante der Magnum LP "Here comes the rain" gibt es weltweit nur 300 Exemplare.

Läste alldeles nyss att Tony Clarkin som var gitarrist och låtskrivare i bandet #Magnum gick bort i söndags 77 år gammal. Känns passande att den sista Magnum skivan fick namnet Here comes the rain. 😔 Så ikväll lyssnar jag på Magnum och minns tillbaka på min tonårstid. Vila i frid Tony! #magnumband #Tonyclarkin

when we were younger, much younger than now,
life was a fast game, we played it somehow...

did all of the dreams that we wanted come true?
some did, clearly not all, maybe a few...

Feeling sick knowing I saw what is still their very last EU show to date.

First discovered them in 2009, when a friend reviewed what was their latest album at the time. Instantly loved the song he chose to include, A Face in the Crowd and looked for more.

They never came to Romania.

In 2019, I got a ticket to see them in April 2020. I was finally going to see them!

Except... obviously postponed. Eventually happened in early 2022. Without me.

But then Dublin happened.

A message from Tony Clarkin

“I’m afraid I have some bad news for you guys. Over the past year or so I’ve been bothered by increasingly bad pains in my neck and head. For a long time the docs couldn’t work out why, but now they’ve found out and it’s gonna mean some changes.

I have developed a rare spinal condition. It’s not life-limiting, but it can be degenerative in some people, and sadly it’s not curable. There are treatments that may help but we don’t know how good they’ll be.

With the nature of touring and the weight of electric guitars this means there’s no way I would be able to play the scheduled shows in the spring. We've taken the decision to cancel the tour, rather than mess anyone around trying to postpone in the hope things might get better in the short term. Bob didn’t feel it would be right doing it with a dep at this time.

This is not gonna be the end of Magnum, but the future might have to be a bit different, so please bear with us while we try and figure out what I can and can’t do moving forward.

I’m really sorry for everyone who’d already bought tickets, it goes without saying that I’m absolutely gutted that I’m not gonna be able to play for you.

Cheers and I hope I’ll be able to see you all again soon.

TC”

We are obviously all extremely upset at this development, especially so close to Christmas. We can’t thank you all enough for your support over the years and hope you’ll stick with us through this too.

We'll be back...
Magnum
