MAGAZINE - Secondhand Daylight (1979 UK Original Vinyl LP) V2121

Up for sale is a highly sought-after original UK pressing of “Secondhand Daylight”, the iconic second studio album by the legendary post-punk band Magazine. Released in 1979 on the Virgin label (catalogue number V2121), this is the genuine article for collectors, not a modern reissue.

This album marks a pivotal moment in post-punk history, showcasing the band’s evolution with a colder, more atmospheric sound. Featuring the groundbreaking guitar work of John McGeoch and Howard Devoto's distinctive lyrical observations, it includes classic tracks like "Rhythm of Cruelty," "Feed the Enemy," and the instrumental "The Thin Air." Produced by Colin Thurston (David Bowie, Iggy Pop), the album has a rich, layered production that has stood the test of time.
