"Magenta â "The Singles" will contain 14 tracks consisting of every song that has made up the bandâs four EP/singles. Eight 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 2007, the album will only be available at Magenta gigs and from the Magenta at the shop.
Rob Reed explains the decision to release the album: âMost of these songs have been an important part of Magentaâs 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 bandâs 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.â 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 bandâs first album Revolutions.
The three bonus tracks contain an additional 25 minutes of music including the full 14-minute directorâs cut of "Pride" with a total album running time of 79 minutes.
