MAGNA CARTA - CD SONGS FROM WASTIES..

Popis - SONGS FROM WASTIES..:
Remastered, coming in a digipak with extensive liner notes. Blending folk melodies with rock power, Magna Carta became one of the most respected British groups of the Seventies. Founder member and singer Chris Simpson wrote all the material for the bands third album that was produced by Gus Dudgeon and first released on Vertigo in 1971. Acclaimed by critics as their magnum opus, Wasties was a best seller and remains one of Magna Cartas best-loved works. The album has a dozen attractive songs, including the single Time For The Leaving, that encapsulates the groups mixture of lilting rhythms, vocal harmonies and gentle acoustic guitar. Guitarist Davey Johnstone - who later worked with Elton John - contributes his own composition Down Along Up and Rick Wakeman plays keyboards on one track. Magna Carta continued performing into the new Millennium and says Melody Makers Colin Irwin:
They are the whole story of contemporary folk music and that is one stupendous achievement.
