Listening to this on Feb. 18, 2022. 44 years on and this band still sounds fucking brilliant.

This is superb, the light pours out of me is an amazingly clar and tight recording Fresh and dynamic respect to the Maida Vale crew and of course the band!

Live sessions recorded for John Peel usually sounded better than a band's official releases, and this is no exception. Thank you for sharing it here.

Totally true, their sound are advanced and sophisticated. Some bands introduced electronic sounds but they came from other trends. Magazine came from punk-rock and they did it magnificently!

This one's a 'work in progress' version, I'd say...

Somewhere in a box in the attic I have a dusty cassette of Magazine rehearsing before they recruited Dave Formula. Very Spiral Scratch. Can't remember what's all on it - The Light Pours Out Of Me, definitely. Also, the version of My Mind's Not So Open was entitled Suddenly We're Eating Sandwiches, which Howard later told me came from a Beckett short story. Er, that's all I got. Until I dig out that tape!

This group sound as new as when they first became heard of and being listened to on all forms of media platform.

Awesome Band and so innovative

One of my fave band at the time (77 onwards). I was already fan of Buzzcocks (Spiral Scratch - January 77). So, I was a bit disappointed to see Howard leave the band. But actually it was for the better. Pete Shelley took the leading with Buzzcocks and Howard formed the great Magazine. And I super happy to have witnessed an extraordinary concert when I was travelling to Londo in 2012. On that evening called "From Front to Back", four different line-up was on stage. Ending this very long set with the original line-up. I was totally exhausted after this!

Lovely Peel sessions

outrageously brilliant. this is the best version.

It is often said that Peel sessions produced bands best versions of their material.

This is one of the best peel sessions ever

Just about the best sound for a 1978 UK band, and also, the best look, too....still sounds good today, but that is to be expected considering the awesome array of talent lined up against that wall...

Lucky you,myself and another english friend(from Manchester) tried for 10-15 years to see him here in NL,he never showed up at festivals he was meant to perform at,eventually he turned up at a festival in Amsterdam and we were nervous that he still might not show? Although I was informed when we did finally see him he'd "kicked the habit"?

Magazine > Buzzcocks. And I like them both.

When i was young,i thought they are boring,they sounded to me like Pink Floyd, i was into Chaos UK, DISORDER, DEAD KENNEDYS. Now i know better, but still like that trash stuff,GBH, DISCHARGE....
