## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fans paradise
*by D***A on 26 October 2020*

Great detail . Well researched book about Manchester’s greatest band

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant!
*by P***L on 4 September 2010*

If you're a 'Magazine' fan then you'll love this book! I do!The pictures of the band in the early years with Bob & practise shots are great!It's great to see pics of your fave band & hear what they have to say about it all.I don't normally read books but I do love Magazine - always have & always will.Only gripe I have is there's not much about how good a bass player Barry Adamson is!Whe you listen to all the Magazine albums & hear how he got better & better it really baffles me how he can be so overlooked!He can play every style of music, punk, funk, jazz, weird even!I also agree with what Bazzer says in the book, that 'secondhand Daylight' is Magazine at their best!Great 'bassy' sound on that album! And 'so what' if it does start off a little 'Pink Floydy'!I'd rather be in a band that sounded a bit like Floyd than in a band that sounded like culture club!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ IT'S ALL THERE - BUT THERE'S NO POINT OF VIEW
*by K***D on 27 September 2011*

A very good book undermined somewhat by the lack of an author's voice. Four stars, then - number five missing, AWOL, presumably carrying the weight of my minor disappointment all the way back home to Ma.And this gives MAGAZINE: THE BIOGRAPHY more of a reference-book feel. No bad thing in itself as there's much in it to digest and appreciate. For example, we're presented with extensive details of every recording in strict chronological order, original tour dates, illustrations of sleeve designs and even lyrics to all the songs. Also, there are many fascinating 'then and now' photos spread liberally throughout.But I return to the fundamental issue of 'voice': this absense of a unifying word, or angle, from HELEN CHASE has placed the whole enterprise ever so slightly at arms length - it's just a little too polite; pink corpuscles instead of red, if you like, lacking the rich oxygenation of opinion. Even the bandmembers are on their best behaviour; thoughtful, considered and bloody good blokes to a man. It's all there, no question, everything you need to know BUT there's no point of view. Huh?In the end, however, the book remains an essential purchase...just don't ask Ms Chase what she thinks about it all. As for me, this is MAGAZINE we're talking about which, in the great scheme of things, can only mean one thing...HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
