This is not really rare, but is up in my top ten albums and I have seen their other records posted elsewhere, but not this. "Real Life" was their first LP and it's one of those records where you think "this is my favourite track" then you hear the next one and think "oh no I like this one too". In other words they're all great and like many bands' first records it's their best. This is not your're pogo punk, but is what I was listening to in 1978. The artists in Magazine are some of punk's legends. John McGeoch was also in Siouxsie and the Banshees and PIL, Barry Adamson also played with Nick Cave, went solo and is a great bass player, Dave Formula played keyboards for different bands, drummer Martin Jackson also was in The Chameleons. Maybe some gurus out there can educate us about any other projects. Of course the focal point of the band was ex-Buzzcocks Howard Devoto. Some of these songs were co-written by Pete Shelley of The Buzzcocks. Sorry no pictures right now as the camera is awol.
