On Saturday I queued from 07:00 to get myself the only copy of the Record Store Day Release "ONCE@THEACADEMY" that I could find in the Lancashire area. Astonishing Sounds in Burnley had the only copy and I managed to get it. I've used the images Magazine Official Posted so hope they don't mind plus a couple of myself with the pressing I bought. Limited to 1000 copies the record features 5 tracks from Magazine's 2009 'Real Life & Thereafter' Manchester Academy Comeback show. Track listing is as follows: Side 1 1. The Light Pours Out Of Me 2. Permafrost Side 2 3. Twenty Years Ago 4. Definitive Gaze 5. Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin).
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.
