The Correct Use of Soap is the third album by British post-punk band Magazine, released by Virgin Records in 1980. It marks a return to form of sorts to the more punkier riffs and faster rhythms of Real Life after their more experimental album Secondhand Daylight. As such, it contains some of Magazine's best-known and most popular songs, including the singles "A Song from Under the Floorboards" and "Sweetheart Contract" and their highly regarded cover of Sly & The Family Stone's "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)". This was their last album with original guitarist John McGeoch, who left the band after the releasing of the album and joined Siouxsie And The Banshees and continued a short more time with Visage, formed also by his bandmates Dave Formula and Barry Adamson; he was replaced by Robin Simon (ex-Ultravox, now with Ajantamusic) to the world tour, promoting the album. Magazine would go on to release one more studio album, 1981's Magic, Murder and the Weather, but this album is generally regarded as the end of Magazine and Devoto's most productive and innovative period.

A different version of this album was released in Canada in 1980, by then distributor Polygram Records. This version was titled An Alternative Use of Soap.

The single "A Song from Under the Floorboards" was featured on Rhino's box-set Left of the Dial: Dispatches from the 80s Underground, and has been covered many times in concert by fellow Mancunian Morrissey and recorded by Australian band My Friend the Chocolate Cake on their ARIA Music Award-winning album Brood (1994).

My records are graded visually in accordance with the rare record collectors guide as follows:

EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc

+ or - indicates a grading in between categories
