The Rough Trade Releases:

• Magazine - Real Life (Rough Trade Exclusive, Ltd 500, Red and Black Marbled LP+)

Price: £27.99 Available From Rough Trade

Description

Real Life is the debut album by Magazine and a post punk benchmark. It was originally released in June 1978 by Virgin. The album includes the band's debut single "Shot by Both Sides", "The Light Pours Out Of Me" and the more orchestrated "Parade". Pressed from the 2000 remastered recordings, with a photo inner sleeve featuring an interview with Dave Formula.

Enduringly credible, Magazine have always been the connoisseur’s choice and frequently name checked by some of the most gifted musicians of recent years including Radiohead, Morrissey, Jarvis Cocker, U2, Johnny Marr and MGMT. NME.com went so far as to included Magazine in a poll as one of the most influential bands of all time. Magazine’s front man, Howard Devoto co-formed Buzzcocks with Pete Shelley after the pair had seen The Sex Pistols in early 1976 and promoted the now legendary Manchester Lesser Free Trade Hall gigs. Devoto left in 1977, after the seminal ‘Spiral Scratch’ EP had been released, and created Magazine. Their first record was the post-punk anthem ‘Shot By Both Sides’. Leading the vanguard of post-punk, Magazine’s sound focused on the double barrels of Dave Formula’s swirling keyboards and John McGeoch’s ahead-of-its-time innovative guitar work, underpinned by Barry Adamson’s pulsing yet deviously irregular bass-lines. Atop of which came Howard Devoto’s lyrics. Aloof, articulate, tersely ironic and about as pliable as a garden rake. Too literary for the mass pop environment. Too poppy for the literary landscapes beyond it.

Doomed to exist in that tiny, undersubscribed hinterland where artful wordplay meets the crunching riff. Real Life, Secondhand Daylight, The Correct Use of Soap, and Magic, Murder and The Weather. Four ground breaking albums and then the band parted company, leaving behind an influential body of work to critical acclaim. A fifth studio album, No Thyself, was released in 2011 following a 2009 reformation. The plaudits continued.

• Magazine - Secondhand Daylight (Rough Trade Exclusive, Ltd 500, Green and Black Marbled LP+)

Price: £27.99 Available From Rough Trade

Description

Secondhand Daylight is the second album by Magazine. It was originally released on 30 March 1979 by Virgin. Secondhand Daylight was somewhat of a departure from the debut, featuring more keyboards, smoother rhythms, outboard studio gadgetry and streamlined lyrics from Devoto. It's a compelling and cold post punk classic. Pressed from the 2000 remastered recordings, with a photo inner sleeve featuring an interview with Howard Devoto.
