Founding member of The Buzzcocks, Howard Devoto quickly got bored with the blam blam blam of the punk scene and put together an art-rock outfit called Magazine.

Graeme Hill and Grant Smithies re-spin Magazines debut Real Life which contains a few interesting fossils from the Buzzcocks era.

A stunning line-up of musicians that at the time nobody would have even heard of and one of the best openings of an album ever?

Weekend Variety Wireless with Graeme Hill, 8pm - midnight Saturdays and Sundays, on RadioLIVE and streaming live to the Rova app on Android and iPhone.
