Review

Magna Carta are renowned for their gentle ballad style and mythical subject matter. Although never purely a folk band, they managed to successfully bridge the gap between folk and folk-rock. The band was originally formed in London in May 1969 by Chris Simpson, Lyell Tranter, with Glen Stuart (vocals) added to the line-up shortly afterwards. The trio released albums for Fontana Records and Vertigo Records, enjoying particular success with 1970's Seasons. Davey Johnstone (guitar/vocals) joined the line-up, recording Songs From Wasties Orchard and In Concert with the band before leaving to work with Elton John and Kiki Dee. Simpson and Stuart were then joined by Stan Gordon (guitar), recording and releasing the much-lauded Lord Of The Ages (texts from this album and Seasons were used as part of the English syllabus in several European countries). Took a Long Time was released on vinyl in 1976 and has never been out on C.D. before. The same album was also released as Putting it Back Together. Global. 20061976 Album from the Chris Simpson Fronted Progressive Rock Band. This Edition is the Album's Premiere CD Release and Includes "Putting it Back Together", "oh My Dear Rose", "Wild Bird" and Many More.
