Bob Catley - Middle Earth (2 Lp Coloured Vinyl)

Their breakthrough album came in 1985 with On a Storyteller's Night. The success continued with Vigilante (1986), produced by Roger Taylor (Queen), the top 5 album Wings of Heaven (1988), and Goodnight L.A. (1990), produced by Keith Olsen.

This eventually led to his debut solo album, The Tower, written entirely by Gary Hughes of Ten, who chose to stay in the same style as classic Magnum. Bob and Gary reunited for the follow-up, Legends. Middle Earth again features Gary's lyrics. The band consists mostly of members of Ten, and the drum stool is occupied by
