Howard Devoto and the boys were one of post punks most brilliant bands. Mere words cannot describe the shear brilliance and soul power that emanates from every groove off every track. Particularly off their first 3 albums. I could literally go on for pages about how great this band is. We all know that Howard Devito was the original singer for the Buzzcocks, but would truly become the legend in Magazine that he so rightly is. With badass Barry A. on bass guitar, there was some serious rhythms and some serious songs being written here. Even dare I say musicianship. With songs like "The Light Pours Out Of Me" even being covered by Ministry, among other numerous bands. Magazine have paid their dues to society, now it's time for us to pay our dues to the man. Off with their heads! These recordings are the demos for the first album "Real Life" and are totally unreleased.
Mandatory Listen: "Real Life LP" / "Secondhand Daylight" / "The Correct Use Of Soap" Go out and get this now!

THANK YOU!!! so many great posts, this one by far my fave!
Been dying to hear this for so many years...nuff said thanx love your blog.
Amazing shit in here, man!! I stayed up all night going through the archive and the huge reward for me was The Bags post. As to the comments regarding unzipping the file, I posted this there:
"Old news by now, but maybe this will help someone else: The comment about using the Repair File option is correct. To get there, right click on the file in WinRar. My version created a new file called "Rebuilt...", which I then unzipped fine. Been waiting ages for this. Hanx!! ~stu"
And hanx again, mate. Excellent spot you got here.
Thanks great band

Whoa! Can't wait to hear this! Thanks.
even though i was/am a huge Buzzcocks fan (and had the 7" of Spiral Scratch with Devoto on it), I never got around to listening to Magazine really.
So i look forward to finally hearing this.
thank you.
this version of the light pours out of me is better than the lp
wow
thanks
Outstanding post! Many, MANY thanks for this one, you've made my week... x
Incredible - been looking for this fanatically for a couple of years, and at last ... thanks so much, and as the only proper way to say thanks is to return the gift, have a little look here at the marvellous eggcityradio:

The Boston, Toronto and Rockpalast are particularly recommended.
Enjoy! Cheers, Dave Sez.

WOW! I'm an "original" fan of this band and "Real Life," and I've NEVER heard these recordings. 30 years late is better than never. Can't thank you enough, so I'll shut up.
real c00L .
thanks
I didn't know of the existence of this one, either.
GOOD LORD. This is brilliant. I've followed Magazine since their first single and have never heard these demos. THANK YOU!!!
I just bought the Live & Intermittent CD and was just looking for more oddities and came across this great blog. Fantastic, never heard these before. Also big thanks to Dave Sez for the live gigs, if anyone would like a copy of the Live & Intermittent CD let me know.
Thanx

WoW!
I had just heard of the "Live and Intermittent" release and was researching it and found this great blog and this fantastic post! Thanks so much!
And if "European Son" can share a link to
"Live and Intermittent", that would be simply amazing!
