Heart chronology
"Little Queen" (1977) "Magazine" (1978) "Dog and Butterfly" (1978)

Magazine is the third studio album by the hard rock band Heart. The album was certified platinum, but failed to meet the same level of sales as the band's previous two albums. Magazine was intended to be the follow-up to Heart's 1976 album Dreamboat Annie. However, Heart left Mushroom Records and went over to Portrait to record Little Queen for their second album. Magazine was later released to fulfill contractual obligations. It was originally released in late 1977 to radio stations, but the album was immediately pulled from general release. It is under dispute as to whether Heart or Mushroom Records were the ones demanding that parts of the album be re-mixed and re-recorded, but the original release was clearly a sub-par effort. The original track listings are slightly different in terms of order and length compared to what was eventually re-released in 1978.
