He joined several bands at college. One of these bands was \"Paradox\" where he was noticed by Status Quo members Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt. When paradox disbanded in 1970 Bob joined up with Tony Clarkin and Magnum were formed, who need no introduction in the world of quality British hard rock. They had a really good break when Jeff Glixman produced \"Chase the dragon\" in the early eighties, by then Magnum had crafted their own classic rock sound. They further enjoyed commercial success with \"Just like an Arrow\" in 1985. However, when Clarkin veered to a different style with his band \"Hard Rain\" Bob Catley decided to go solo and this is when \"The Tower\" was released with a strong input from Gary Hughes of \"Ten\". It was a great success and led to the release of \"Legends\" and \"Middle Earth\". These three releases have all now been reissued by Escape Music on both CD and double vinyl with lavish new artwork from Rodney Matthews and bonus tracks \"The Tower\" ESM390 \/ ESMV1021 \"Legends\" ESM396 \/ ESMV1025 \/ \"Middle Earth\" ESM399 \/ ESMV1028. It seems fitting that the journey should continue with \"When Empires Burn\" and so here it is given the same treatment as the others, a timeless addition to the Bob Catley collection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTracks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 The Torment (Intro)\u003cbr\u003e2 Children of the Circle\u003cbr\u003e3 Gonna Live Forever\u003cbr\u003e4 The Prophecy\u003cbr\u003e5 I'll Be Your Fool\u003cbr\u003e6 Every Beat of My Heart\u003cbr\u003e7 When Empires Burn\u003cbr\u003e8 Meaning of Love\u003cbr\u003e9 This Is the Day\u003cbr\u003e10 Someday Utopia\u003cbr\u003e11 My America\u003cbr\u003e12 Heaven Can Wait (Bonus Track)\u003cbr\u003e13 When the Earth Lies Still (Demo)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bob Catley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62526873043274,"sku":"5031281010308","price":9.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/goldenspiraluk.com\/products\/when-empires-burn-2lp-colored-180-gram-vinyl","provider":"Golden Spiral Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
