Tigermoth Records are delighted to announce their first full-length release.

 

Magenta – "The Singles" will contain 14 tracks consisting of every song that has made up the band’s four EP/singles. 8 of these tracks have been specially re-recorded exclusively for this release, and none of them have been available on a full length CD before. Until the official release date of 21st May, the album will only be available at Magenta gigs and from the Magenta shop at  http://www.magentamembers.co.uk/catalog/index.php - www.magentamembers.co.uk/catalog/index.php  .

 

Rob Reed explains the decision to release the album: “Most of these songs have been an important part of Magenta’s live set for several years now and they have evolved as the band has performed them live.  We felt it was time to record and release definitive versions with our current line up, which includes Dan Fry on bass.  We hope that fans of the band that have our three albums, but have not yet had the chance to hear these songs, will enjoy this equally important aspect of the band’s music. However, we hope that those that already have some of this material will appreciate how these songs have evolved over time and that you all love the new versions.”

 

Included on the CD is Night and Day (originally recorded with Annie Haslam) which features a complete lead vocal from Christina for the first time, plus Sunshine Saviour, a new piece adapted from Children of the Sun from the band’s first album Revolutions.

 

The three bonus tracks contain an additional 25 minutes of music including the full 14-minute director’s cut of "Pride".
