I've just setup a Facebook Group for fans of all things Buzzcocks, Howard Devoto, Magazine etc.
It's a closed group for fans only.
Send me an add request please.
Click here if you're a FB user.
Fans of Howard Devoto and Buzzcocks, Magazine, Luxuria, welcome. I've been a fan of Howard's work and that of his bandmates who inspired me to become a concert photographer and set up www.shotfrombothsides.co.uk and my love of punk/post punk. No money is made from this blog nor is it linked officially to Howard or any of the related bands or individual members. This is just one man's obsession in blog form, nothing more. If you don't like any of it. Well, that's your loss, not mine.

Buzzcocks - Howard Devoto
I recently bought a number of items from Australia, USA and the UK as I've started re-building my collection. All I collect is anything related to the Howard Devoto period and was lucky enough to find a really great bloke called Kez who sold me some of his items, mainly re releases of Spiral Scratch. I've not had time to photograph them yet but I will and will upload it all here once done.
For now here's a taster.
1. Buzzcocks, New Hormones photocopied promotional pamphlet for the reissue of the Spiral Scratch E.P. signed by Howard, Steve Garvey and Pete Shelley.
2. And here's the W/Label promo for the 12" Spiral Scratch release along with the promo copy rear cover for the 7" e.p. and underneath it all is the Time Up Bootleg. I have another two of these different labels I think.

Magazine - Festival Hall
Bruce Butler posted on the Magazine Facebook page, the
following image of the badge and his comments which I've included below and
have posted, separately the TV interview Howard gave.
The Festival Hall concert was a double bill with XTC and
Magazine supported by local bands Models and Flowers (later Icehouse). I know
both XTC and Magazine's entire sets were filmed and recorded. The XTC set has
done the rounds as a bootleg but I've never seen the entire Magazine set, only
the five tracks released on the 'Nightmoves' DVD. When the 'Play. +' CD was
released and I heard it was to be two discs I had hoped the second disc would
be the DVD of the same show. A shame and a missed opportunity that it wasn't.
Maybe Magazine can give us an idea if the video will ever see the light of day.
Meanwhile, here is the promotional badge for this event. There were also
sweat-shirts, one of which is being worn by John Peters in the above interview.
