{"product_id":"chris-de-burgh-the-legend-of-robin-hood","title":"Chris de Burgh- The Legend Of Robin Hood ( Vinyl )","description":"\u003cp\u003eRe-imagining the fabled tale of a folklore favourite has been the latest creative challenge for Chris de Burgh. \r\n\r\nThe compelling result breathes music and lyrical life into a centuries-old and much-loved classic. \r\n\r\n'The Legend of Robin Hood' finds Chris at his imaginative best, re-telling the story with cinematic vision coupled seamlessly to music of emotional depth and power.\r\n\r\nThe concept for the 27th studio album by Chris emerged from his involvement in 'Robin Hood', a stage musical about the infamous Sherwood Forest nobleman and his band of outlaws. Chris was invited to contribute storylines and melodies to the musical, which will be produced later in the year in Fulda, Germany, by Spotlight Productions, a theatrical company that has already mounted eight successful musicals. 'Since I was writing songs for this,' he explains, 'I thought 'Why not expand the story and put an album out, too?'\r\n\r\nChris was eminently qualified and able to do that on any number of levels. Most significantly, with his 2010 album 'Moonfleet', based on the book of the same name, he had crafted a highly successful musical interpretation of an already existing story.\r\n\r\nNone of which necessarily made tackling Robin Hood any easier. 'I learned a great deal from 'Moonfleet', particularly how to set out a story in sequence,' he says. 'If I had a problem advancing the story in song, I'd just go and read the book again. This time, we didn't have a book. There is no book! I had to create my own story, my own version of this classic tale.\r\n\r\n'In my story, Robin Hood is not a hero, but circumstances and injustice to others turned him into the hero that is now known all over the world. He initially comes across as an obnoxious young man in his late teens, but he subsequently shows a different and compassionate side and the qualities of a born leader.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 the Robin Hood Overture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A2 the Tale of Robin Hood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A3 the Wedding Feast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A4 Only a Child\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A5 the Man with the Double Face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e B1 Home from the War (Part One)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e B2 Live Life Live Well\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e B3 Home from the War (Part Two)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e B4 Open Your Eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e B5 the Arrest!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e B6 Break the Law!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e C1 in Sherwood Forest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e C2 the Speech to the Outlaws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e C3 Light a Fire!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e C4 the Robbery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e C5 We've Got the Money\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e C6 a Love Revealed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e C7 I Am Falling in Love (All Over Again)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e D1 in Prison\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e D2 the Duel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e D3 Where My Last Arrow Falls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e D4 a Man for the Ages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e D5 Legacy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Butler Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57421018857807,"sku":"8718627232378","price":5.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/8725\/2047\/files\/4089205-2823091.jpg?v=1775632558","url":"https:\/\/vibesvinyl.com\/products\/chris-de-burgh-the-legend-of-robin-hood","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
