MAGNUM – Vigilante [1986 Polydor UK POLD 5198] vinyl-rip , MP3+FLAC

On a comment in the recent post of MAGNUM new 2024 album a reader spoke about the band’s stupendous 1986’s record “Vigilante“. Highly regarded as a classic by AOR aficionados, on “Vigilante” MAGNUM embraced the mid-Eighties polished, commercial sound from the era still retaining their trademark songwriting style and refined arrangements.

Our fellow reader asked for a pressing / reissue of MAGNUM’s “Vigilante” with good sound quality.
On all the CD pressings the sound quality is fine, but the gain level never was revised and oddly, still there isn’t a good “Vigilante” reissue. “Vigilante” is an album that screams for a proper remaster for sure.
So we the plotn08 team decided to make our own vinyl-rip from the original UK LP release, respecting the vinyl harmonics and avoiding any audio post-processing: you have here MAGNUM’s “Vigilante” as it comes from the turntable.
And you know what? It sounds great!
