This is a superb 3-cd collection outlining the all too brief career of Magazine. Released at the same time as a 'Best Of', duplication is avoided by using alternative or live versions of songs common to both. The third of the discs gathers together the band's John Peel Sessions, including a version of 'Boredom', originally by Howard Devoto's previous group.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Besides being a great anthology of Magazine's output over the span of the four/five albums covered here(Including the live album 'Play'), this indispensable 3 CD set collates alternate versions, rarities and all of the historic Peel Sessions all in one place. The fact that so many of the included tracks are different to the album versions means you are not repeating on what you already have(Or SHOULD have) in the original album releases. This set is up there with all the other essential sets like Joy Division's Heart & Soul. If you see it buy it, you will not be disappointed!
