Venturing into the mystical realms of Magnum's "Chase the Dragon" is like opening a lavishly illustrated fantasy novel – one imbued with epic rock majesty and vivid storytelling, now pressed on 180-gram turquoise audiophile vinyl.

Released in 1982, this third studio album marked a milestone for the English rock ensemble, which married the ascendant grace of heavy metal with richly woven narratives. Produced under the experienced hand of Kansas producer Jeff Glixman, the album's recording took place over 13 concise days at London's famous Town House Studios. With Tony Clarkin at the mixing helm later in Atlanta, Magnum's sonic textures achieved a crystal clarity that resonated well with their devoted fan base, peaking at number 17 in the UK charts.

The album is packed with timeless tracks like “Soldier of the Line,” capturing the band’s dynamic live energy, and “The Spirit,” an anthem of ethereal transcendence. Not forgetting “Sacred Hour,” which features thunderous yet melodic passages that have rightfully earned their place in Magnum’s perennial setlist. The initial release included a single, “The Lights Burned Out,” extending its narrative with an EP release that follows two freshly concocted tracks on this reissue: “Back to Earth” and “Hold Back Your Love.”

This limited edition pressing is not only an aural experience, but also a visual and tactile one, celebrated by the first appearance of Rodney Matthews' legendary work. For fans and collectors, this turquoise gem offers a gateway to the glorious 80s – a vital piece of Magnum's heritage, vibrant and enduring.
