Released in 1981 as Magazine’s fourth and final album before their 2009 reunion, Magic, Murder and the Weather features brittle, cold production by Martin Hannett. Known for their influential post-punk sound—marked by Dave Formula’s keyboards, John McGeoch’s innovative guitar, and Howard Devoto’s sharp lyrics—Magazine left a lasting legacy praised by artists like Radiohead and Morrissey. This album, pressed from the 2000 remaster, is part of their critically acclaimed catalogue that includes Real Life and The Correct Use of Soap.
