The band’s quieter numbers have always had a very special significance for the countless Magnum supporters worldwide. Every time the British rock group surrounding founder members Tony Clarkin and Bob Catley have written less uptempo and more laid-back material, highlighting their more emotive side, their moving lyrics have featured an unusual depth. “You have to offer your fans something to dream along to, something that they can submerge themselves in if you want them to continue following you,” guitarist, composer and producer Clarkin explained his band’s recipe for success. There can be no doubt: without classic ballads such as ´Lonely Night` and ´When The World Comes Down` or more recent highlights along the lines of ´The Valley Of Tears` and ´Broken Wheel`, Magnum’s repertoire would doubtlessly seem incomplete. So it was only logical for them to compile the most beautiful ballads from their long career on this album THE VALLEY OF TEARS – THE BALLADS, sending their listeners on a very emotional journey. The album consists of ten tracks – most of them remastered, partly remixed or even rerecorded – and is scheduled for the first time as a vinyl version on September 18th, 2020!
