Description
Magazine ORIG UK LP Correct use of soap VG+ '80 Virgin V2156 Post Punk
Original UK 2nd Press LP released in 1980 on Virgin Records. Cat: V2156.
This is something of a return to standard operational form for Magazine, who thawed after recording Secondhand Daylight to throw together an energetic batch of colorful and rhythmically intricate songs. It's an unexpected move considering that they enlisted Martin Hannett (Joy Division, A Certain Ratio, Crispy Ambulance), master of the gray hues, as the producer. A looser, poppier album than its predecessors somewhat ironically, a cover of Sly & the Family Stone's "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)" is the most subdued song it features the rhythm section of John Doyle and Barry Adamson at their taut, flexible best and guitarist John McGeoch at his most cunningly percussive. Save for the called-for razzle-dazzle on "Sweetheart Contract," keyboardist Dave Formula takes more of a back seat, using piano more frequently and no longer driving the songs to the point of detracting from the greatness of his mates, as the most frequent complaint of Secondhand Daylight goes.
Tracks : Because you're frightened/ Model worker/ I'm a party/ You never knew me/ Philadelphia/ I want to burn again/ Thank you (falettinme be mice elf agin)/ Sweetheart contract/ Stuck/ A song from under the floorboards.
