Condition: VG+

Rickie Lee Jones's third album arrived in 1984 after a lengthy gap and confirmed that her singular voice — literary, jazz-inflected, and impossible to categorize — had deepened rather than narrowed. The Magazine is a more produced record than her debut, leaning into 80s studio textures without sacrificing the idiosyncratic storytelling that made her essential. It's an album that rewards patient listening and holds up better with each pass. This VG+ copy plays cleanly — a rewarding find for the Rickie Lee Jones devotee and anyone drawn to the more adventurous end of 80s singer-songwriter pop.
