"Marauder" is a Live Album by British Melodic Rock band Magnum. It was released in 1980 on Jet Records.

Magnum recorded "Marauder" over one night at London's famous Marquee Club in December 1979. It was an attempt by Jet Records to revive the success of debut album "Kingdom Of Madness" following the failure of "Magnum II". [Clarkin, Tony & Ling, David (2006). Sleeve Notes. In "Marauder: Expanded Edition" (pp. 2) [CD liner notes] . London: Sanctuary Records.] The album was recorded on multi-track by former-Ten Years After bass player Leo Lyons, who had recorded "Magnum II", and mixed by Chris Tsangarides.

The 8 track live album was released in April 1980, entering the UK charts at #34.

A four-track EP preceded the album's release in March 1980 called "Live At The Marquee" featuring material from the same show. The EP charted within the Top 50 of the UK singles chart, and very nearly earned the band an appearance on Top Of The Pops. [Clarkin, Tony & Ling, David (2006). Sleeve Notes. In "Marauder: Expanded Edition" (pp. 2) [CD liner notes] . London: Sanctuary Records.]

Following this revival, "Changes" was re-released as a single, although in a remixed format.

The 2005 expanded version of the album was reissued on 22nd September 2006 in Japan with Mini LP/Paper Sleeve packaging through Arcangelo. The album was also included in a limited edition Japanese Box Set, comprising of all 6 of Sanctuary Records Expanded and Remastered releases with Mini LP/Paper Sleeve packaging. The set included an outer box featuring Magnum's "Chase The Dragon" artwork.
