Rays And Hail 1978 – 2011 Magazine SKU: INTGDS009LP Barcode: 5400863165888 30.00 £30.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Integral Distribution Services Released Date: 13th December 2024 Buying Format: 2LP Coloured Vinyl Forthcoming Pre Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Originally released on Virgin in 1981, and now reissued in an expanded format to take account of their post-reformation output with 2011’s ‘No Thyself’, ‘Rays & Hail 1978-2011’ is a careerspanning compilation of Magazine’s finest moments. Features tracks from the influential postpunks’ immaculate original four-album run, from 1978’s ‘Real Life’ to 1981’s ‘Magic, Murder And The Weather’. Enduringly credible, Magazine have always been the connoisseur’s choice and are 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 frontman, 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 basslines. 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. “Devoto, let’s just say, for the hell of it because the story has to start somewhere, with a bang, or a legendary punk gig, was the man who changed Manchester because he had an idea about what needed to happen at just the right time in just the right place. He arranged for the Sex Pistols to play in Manchester before the rest of the country had caught up with the idea that there was any such thing as a Sex Pistol. In the audience for the shows were Mark E Smith, Ian Curtis, Morrissey and Devoto himself, four of the greatest rock singers of all time, directly challenged to take things on.” – Paul Morley, The Observer (2006) “Magazine are the most criminally underrated band in the past 25 years of British pop in my view. Howard Devoto was a total pop genius, but he was a slightly misshaped pop star and I think nobody really got him. Simple Minds should not have been big, but Magazine should have – someone made a clerical mistake somewhere.” – Jeremy Vine, The Daily Telegraph (2007) “Saying that Devoto has a cult following is like saying that King Kong was a big hairy gorilla: it’s superficially accurate but doesn’t really convey the full scale picture. On that ‘So It Goes’ he came on with the most powerful presence I’d seen since the first time I clapped eyes on Johnny Rotten… the kind of guy who’s going to get a big hoopla but who deserves it.” – Charles Shaar Murray, NME (1978) “mmm… not bad, for New Wave.” – Bob Harris, The Old Grey Whistle Test (1978) The album is repressed on yellow coloured vinyl for the first time in ‘Batch 2’, which includes ‘Magic, Murder And The Weather’ and ‘No Thyself’. Each LP will feature unseen images and new notes from band members, compiled and curated by Rory Sullivan-Burke. Each LP will be issued on a different colour vinyl akin to the front cover colours. ‘Batch 1’ consisted of ‘Real Life’, ‘Secondhand Daylight’ and ‘The Correct Use Of Soap’.
