    This is the best pressing of this record. There's no other copy of this album that sounds so detailed and clear with a wide soundstage. Before listening to this copy, I thought the Dutch version was better, but even though the Dutch version is good, the Japanese version is definitely a godsend.
    I'm very happy with my vinyl. I love Japan in this era of pressings.

      this was the one and only release of the debut 1978 lp by magazine in japan, magazine was formed by howard devoto after he left the buzzcocks by mid 1977, anyway this is the best record they ever did i feel and this japan edition is very very rare especially to find with the obi strip, this comes with a lyric sheet with lyrics in english and on the other side of the sheet an essay on magazine in japanese and as you can see a nice thick 1970s style obi strip THIS IS VERY RARE TO FIND COMPLETE....
