Vigilante

Product Information

Eventually got round to properly replacing my very battered 2nd hand CD of this album with a shiny new one. I decided to replace my old cd as some tracks had always seemed to jump so I was quite disappointed to find the new does the same so perhaps it is a mastering fault when the it was transferred from vinyl.

While I have always liked the title track, I initially dismissed the rest of the album as too poppy and simplistic. While the band had wanted Rodney Matthews to paint the artwork, the record company chose a different cover against the band's wishes. Capitalising on the success of On a Storyteller's Night, Magnum changed to a more commercial direction with Vigilante.Only nine tracks but very much quality rather than quantity I found this album utterly absorbing from start to finish. Irrespective of the source, all of our collectables meet our strict grading and are 100% guaranteed. It has been one of my favourite Magnum albums since it was released and shows them at their brilliant best.

I don't give many five-star reviews, but Vigilante gets one because it's proof that there was good music being made even in the Thatcherite taste desert that was Britain in 1986.This is a very good Magnum album - I don't like it as much as "Kingdom of Madness", "On a Storyteller's Night", "Wings of Heaven" or "Princess Alice and the Broken Arrow", but it is up there close to their best. The album was produced by Roger Taylor of Queen and the sound of the album is very much of its time.
