Format: The Complete John Peel Sessions


Description

Formed by original Buzzcocks lead singer Howard Devoto, Magazine featured a line-up that included John McGeoch, who later joined Siouxsie & The Banshees, and Barry Adamson who became a key member of Nick Cave's Bad Seeds before launching a critically praised solo career. Magazine's combination of punk rock's nervous energy and art rock's experimentalism pushed the boundaries of music. Little wonder that this top post-punk group has been cited the by today's top post-rock group, Radiohead as an infl uence, (performing "Shot By Both Sides" on the Kid-A tour), as well as U2's The Edge, Blur, Maximo Park, Manus, Manic Street Preachers, Elastica, Morrissey (who covered "A Song From Under The Floorboards"), and both Ministry and Peter Murphy who each covered "The Light Pours Out Of Me." These John Peel Sessions tracks, never before released in the US, provide fascinating, live in-the- studio versions of Magazine's hits as well as many tracks only released as singles. Of particular interest is the song "Boredom," which Howard Devoto originally sang on the debut Buzzcocks single when he was that group's lead vocalist. Review "The Peel Sessions disc is the real meat. Four sessions yield 15 thoroughly exciting songs. Everything is delivered with excellence... some versions might be preferable to their album counterparts..." -- All Music Guide

  • I love it
Some of these are better than the official studio releases- a big must-have for any real Magazine fan!

  • An Exact Replica
This album is essentially a stand-alone version of the third disc of Magazine's out-of-print boxed set. When I put the CD into my computer to rip it to iTunes, it recognized the disc as "Maybe it's Right to Be Nervous Now (Disc 3)." This edition contains no bonus tracks, no re-remastered sound (it sounds fine as it is), and no special essays in the liner notes. It's a pretty bare-bones package, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that a comprehensive document of Devoto & Co.'s excellent John Peel performances are available again, and any fan that missed out the first time gets a second chance. ... show more

  • Early Performance
These guys could do no wrong as far as I'm concerned. For completists.

  • Some Great Tracks
Magazine's legacy of some really great tracks is spread across their first 3 LPs, the version of "Give Me Everything" on "Play", and this collection. This collection isn't great throughout; some of the tracks sound better in studio form, and a few tunes just aren't all that. But the version of "Boredom" here - WOW. The version of "Because You're Frightened" - WOW. The "Model Worker" and "Song From under the Floorboards" here are top-notch as well. So this is definitely worth hearing/getting. ... show more
