I saw that the first 4 Magazine albums are being remastered with bonus tracks in the UK and coming out in March. CD Universe has them listed around $19-anyone seen any better, and is anyone besides me a fan?
Thanks!

I'm a fan. The bonus tracks are all relevant era b-side (or a-sides in a few cases) and the CDs are probably only $15 when you order from Amazon UK, add shipping and deduct the 15% VAT. But more importantly, the Howard Devoto solo album is being reissued, though apparently without the two non-LP b-sides.

Excellent news, it's about time!

Magazine fan here.
Thanks for the info. Didn't know about the remasters, so I'll keep my eyes open for a good price.

Monkey Boy (or anyone)-thanks for the tip. Amazon Uk seems to be the way to go, but what is the VAT?

Bumping this thread 'cos those wonderful Magazine reissues are out now:

Amazon UK (probably the least expensive, as per Monkeyboy's instructions above):
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/search?ie=U ... ative=6738

Amazon USA:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF ... ative=9325

VAT = Value Added Tax - sort of a sales tax, but you don't have to pay it if it's being shipped outside the country. So whatever Amazon UK lists as the price, deduct 15% if you're in America - when you check out, this is done automatically. Not sure how VAT applies to other countries which also has it (mostly in Europe.)

Good news! Thanks

Here 'tis, now scheduled for July 17th:
