Heart – Magazine

Very dynamic and organic sounding mix. The album roars out of the gates, but peters out on side 2. I look at it as a great EP, with bonus tracks tacked on.

Very good pressing with a rich sound, strong bass and drums. I just love it.

Mine is numbered 101850/100000, so I think it’s safe to say they made a little more than 100,000 of these

Great sounding press! Clear, dynamic, quiet! This album rocks out with great crunchy git and voice.

I’ve done this routine before and I’ll do it again, sellers, QUIT listing remixed reissues under the original withdrawn release, look for “Mushroom Records regrets ETC…” on the back cover, if it’s not there, don’t list it here.

First copy I'd bought was on 8-track, long parted with, so a newly-acquired CD I'd programmed to play just like the 1-8 that tape played, and to the nay-sayers, this was a great album despite the label debacle/contract dispute the band was unfortunately mired in--the songs still came out great, and I even have both LP-incarnates, one sporting pictures of the group, and the other serving up those visionary and inspiring lyrics... -- Dave

Is a hundred thousand copies a limited edition? Nah .

I know the release of this album was very controversial but not looking at that, it’s a great album. Heartless is my favorite with Devil Delight just behind. The power behind the drums really gives this album a boost. The pressing itself is really great. Pretty much everything I have from Mushroom is great.

Magazine album is a bit special treat, it somehow resembles band's effort on their prevoius studio album Dreamboat Annie (watch the rare video Heart - Live transmissions). Album's two hardest tracks (Heartless, Devil Delight) add passion to the selection of songs from the first album. More gentile and delicate songs on this album (Magazine, Without you, Just a wine) show their side to develop complex music and use of variuos instruments for appropriate music details. Hybrid SACD edition of this album is a personal favourite, and great collection of songs from probably most productive period of the original line up. Recommended.
