Foreword-Contact

This book is meant to be a tribute to my - and presumably the reader's - favourite band. I have
loved their music ever since I heard my first MAGNUM-song on the radio, which was “Lonely
Night”. So I have been following the band for many years now which should enable me to write
this book, a history of the band as complete as possible. There was a real jigsaw-puzzle to be put
together from interviews, newspaper cuttings, former band histories, record company
information and much more I still cannot claim to know everything about MAGNUM, although I
had very competent help. Special thanks to Ollie Catley, Petra Fox, David Hargas, Neil Jenkins,
Annie Minion, Ashley Mortimer and the “Nitelight“, Sabine Rummel , Mick Stones, Mark
Stuart, John Warburg, Mark Stanway, Richard Bailey, Dennis Eisele, Hanna Hoffmann, Dionne
Clarkin and Olly Hahn, who helped me to realize this project and, of course, to all band
members, who gave me several interviews.
As I am German my English may not always be totally correct. Please accept my apologies for
that.
Although MAGNUM have officially disbanded after Tony’s passing there will still be minor
additions to some chapters. Therefore, the book will need constant updating, so if you have any
new information or if you find any mistakes, please don't hesitate to write me a note. Here's the

NOTE: The fact that this biography is free to read or download and printout for
everybody’s personal use does not mean, that anyone can just take all this information and
simply publish it somewhere. I do have the copyright on it as the biggest part of this
biography has already been published as a brochure book in the “limited edition box set”
of “The Visitation”. Publishing rights will not be granted without the band’s consent and
without naming me as the author!
