Hanson (also known as Junior Marvin's Hanson) were a British-based rock band formed by Junior Hanson in 1973 and were signed to Emerson, Lake and Palmer's record label Manticore. Their debut album Now Hear This, was released in 1973 and featured Bobby Tench.[1] At the beginning of 1974, Junior Marvin disbanded the existing line-up and reformed the band for the recording of a funk rock album Magic Dragon, which was released later that year.[2]
