Dave Sez : Magazine Megapost Part (1)

I recently referred to a very kind offer of help from the legendary Dave Sez. Here, then, is Part One of a fantastic collection of Magazine, Devoto & Buzzcocks related material. On this topic, it was great to see Howard Devoto & BarryAdamson being interviewed as part of last Friday's "Punk Britannia" Part 3.

Please continue your fantastic support you have previously shown the blog & make sure that you leave some comments for Dave. Now its over to the man himself...

Magazine megapost - Part One

In a series of guest posts for skamanc (in thanks for the great music I've got from here), it's time to return the gift and lend a hand. For today, I'll direct you to pages on the web which you may have already visited and maybe not: in any case, the links are still live. I'd ask readers to leave thanks in the comments over there, as without these posters' generosity, we couldn't all enjoy this music. In following posts, I'll be reupping for skamanc more rare Magazine that has since disappeared from the web, notably their 1977 demos and live gig at the Electric Circus. Enough chatter: on with it.

Next up, something really fresh (if not so hot on the sound quality side): a Buzzcocks megathon with both old and new line-ups in Manchester in May this year, where Howard Devoto joins the original Buzzcocks line-up to replay all the tracks from Spiral Scratch on Disc 3. Go and get these ones quickly, they may disappear soon. Direct download (no file-hoster), right-click and Save As for each track.
