Description
Up for sale copy of HEART - MAGAZINE album. This is the original 1978 vinyl record issue released by MUSHROOM Records in the United States. Record number MRS-5008. The album is new, still in factory plastic wrap.
Magazine is the second studio album by the American hard rock band Heart. It has an unusual history in that the first release in 1977 was an unfinished version not authorized by the group. A second authorized version of the album was re-released in 1978. The album was certified platinum in the US and Canada.
After their debut album, Heart began recording new songs in Vancouver that were intended as their next studio album for Mushroom Records. However, the group had a falling out with Mushroom over an advertisement celebrating the sales of Dreamboat Annie. The advertisement, which ran as a full-page in Rolling Stone magazine was mocked-up to a resemble the cover of a salacious tabloid-style magazine, and showed the sisters bare-shouldered (as on the "Dreamboat Annie" album cover) with the suggestive caption "It was only our first time!"
Recording sessions for the new album stopped after the band and their label were unsuccessful in re-negotiating their contract. Only five incomplete recordings were made during these 1976 sessions. As the group had now proven themselves to be hit-makers, they expected Mushroom to raise their royalty rate. But to the surprise of the group and their producer Mike Flicker the label refused to pay more.
While keeping the group under contract, Mushroom claimed it was not interested in releasing a second Heart album. Flicker ended his relationship with the label and the group followed. The band took the position that since Mushroom refused to release a second album, they were free to sign with another label. Heart hired a lawyer to resolve the dispute, and they signed with Portrait Records, a CBS Records (now Sony BMG) subsidiary..
Unhappy with the somewhat unpolished studio performances and the inclusion of the live recordings, the group took Mushroom to court with the aim of having the 1977 release of Magazine taken off the market. The Seattle court ruled that Mushroom had to recall the album, but the terms of the settlement required that Heart provide a second album for Mushroom. Heart chose to fulfill this obligation by finishing the previously released songs to a quality of their satisfaction.
For the 1978 version Heart chose to re-record, remix and edit the songs and re-sequence the album. This work was done March 6–9, 1978 at Sea-West Studios in Seattle. They added new lead vocals to most of the existing studio tracks.
One of the most obvious differences is that on the original recording of "Heartless" Ann Wilson sings "The doc said come back again next week..." On the re-recorded version she sings "doctor" instead. The new lead vocal on "Heartless" is less controlled than the original. The synthesizer solo on "Just the Wine" was replaced by a flute solo and the song is slightly edited. The ending of "Magazine" fades about 30 seconds earlier. The live "Blues Medley" was edited to remove some of Roger Fisher's guitar solo sections and Ann Wilson's solo vocal parts. There are also many other subtle differences. The revised version of the album was released with no disclaimer by Mushroom Records in April 1978.
