A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by Steven Reid: Creating a blend of folk and rock, Magna Carta have been making music since 1969 and over their 35 albums have sold an amazing 8 million units. Gentle and meandering would be the best description of what you'll find on both the reissued 1982 'Midnight Blue' and the new collection of live material 'Live And Let Live', and if I was to be brutally honest, my first encounter with the music of Magna Carta has left me rather nonplussed. There's no doubt that this is a collection of talented musicians, however the manner in which it is presented is rather polite and tiresome, especially across the nineteen tracks on 'Midnight Blue'. If however you have a liking for this gentle folk/country/rock (almost AOR) outlook, then I have to say that this package is beautifully presented and brimming with extras. http://ping.fm/e290c
