Magnum – Wings of Heaven
Released in 1988 on Polydor Records, Wings of Heaven is widely regarded as Magnum's masterpiece — the album where everything clicked into place. Produced by Roger Taylor (not the Queen drummer, but the acclaimed rock producer), it reached #5 in the UK Albums Chart and remains the commercial and creative peak of the Birmingham band's career. Combining Bob Catley's soaring vocals, Tony Clarkin's melodic guitar work, and Mark Stanway's sweeping keyboards, the record delivers eight tracks of anthemic, emotionally resonant melodic rock that sounds magnificent on vinyl.
Stand-Out Tracks
- "Days of No Trust" – The lead single and one of Magnum's finest moments, a driving, hook-laden rock anthem that reached the UK Top 40 and perfectly sets the tone for the album.
- "Start Talking Love" – A more radio-friendly, melodic cut that became a UK Top 30 hit and showcases the band's gift for accessible, emotionally direct songwriting.
- "It Must Have Been Love" – A sweeping, atmospheric ballad — not the Roxette song — that highlights Bob Catley's extraordinary vocal range and remains a fan favourite.
- "Wild Swan" – An epic six-minute album track that builds from a delicate opening into a powerful, keyboard-driven crescendo.
- "Don't Wake the Lion (Too Old to Die Young)" – The extraordinary 10-minute closing epic, a prog-influenced journey through dynamics and emotion that cements the album's status as a classic.
