Release Notes

"Rockin' Chair"" "Rockin' Chair" was the first single taken from the "Goodnight L.A." album. Written with Russ Ballard, who has had many hits by many artists including, Rainbow, it is the only single that Tony Clarkin has ever shared writing credits. [ Unknown (1993). Sleeve Notes. In "Chapter And Verse" (pp. 2) [CD liner notes] . London: Polydor Ltd.]

"Vigilante"" Recorded in Switzerland, it became the title track for Magnum's first album with Polydor and was featured in the special edition of The Tube based on The Prisoner series. [ Unknown (1993). Sleeve Notes. In "Chapter And Verse" (pp. 2) [CD liner notes] . London: Polydor Ltd.]

"C'est La Vie"" Originally only available as the extra track on the single "Start Talking Love" it was recorded in Wisseloord Studios, Holland, in 1987. [ Unknown (1993). Sleeve Notes. In "Chapter And Verse" (pp. 2) [CD liner notes] . London: Polydor Ltd.]

"Heartbroke And Busted"" Produced by Keith Olsen, in Goodnight L.A. Studios, Los Angeles this became the second single lifted from the "Goodnight L.A." album. This album was over two years in the making. [ Unknown (1993). Sleeve Notes. In "Chapter And Verse" (pp. 2) [CD liner notes] . London: Polydor Ltd.]

"On A Storyteller's Night"" This is a live version of the title song from probably the band's most notable album. It was recorded at Hammersmith in 1990 and was co-produced by the man who does such a wonderful job with the band's live sound, John Halke. [ Unknown (1993). Sleeve Notes. In "Chapter And Verse" (pp. 2) [CD liner notes] . London: Polydor Ltd.]

"Start Talking Love"" The bands first top thirty hit came as such a surprise that they had to interrupt a European tour so that they could fly back to do Top Of The Pops.

"Mama"" Whilst recording this track for the "Goodnight L.A." album the band experienced one of California's less attractive features as they endured a 5.2 earthquake. [ Unknown (1993). Sleeve Notes. In "Chapter And Verse" (pp. 2) [CD liner notes] . London: Polydor Ltd.]

"Lonely Night"" It was very good of Mickey Barker to interrupt his skiing at Gstaadt so that the band could record this track, in Mountain Studios, Montreux, Switzerland. It became the bands first single for Polydor. [ Unknown (1993). Sleeve Notes. In "Chapter And Verse" (pp. 2) [CD liner notes] . London: Polydor Ltd.]

London: Polydor Ltd.]

"Don't Wake The Lion"" One of the true Magnum epics. It has three different movements and is over ten minutes long.

In "Chapter And Verse" (pp. 2) [CD liner notes] . London: Polydor Ltd.]

"Just Like An Arrow"" Recorded at UB40's studios in the bands home town of Birmingham. This was the bands first single of any significance.

"When The World Comes Down"" Featuring Roger Taylor of Queen on backing vocals this song will need no introduction to anybody who knows Magnum and is the obvious conclusion, as it is in the live performances, to any collection of their material.
