ESSENTIAL CLASSIC. VINYL FORMAT. Reissue of the first Television album, featuring Tom Verlaine, originally issued on Elektra in 1977. To call it punk rock is like describing Dostoevsky as a short-story writer. It's hard to conceive of a world without "Marquee Moon" being part of it...a revolutionary album! Features: exact reproduction on 180 gram vinyl, original artwork including lyrics and memorabilia, detailed liner notes by Michael Layne Heath, and all-analog mastering from the original master tapes.

Reissue! Television's 1977 debut album, Marquee Moon, immediately earned critical raves and inspired a number of musicians and bands. Tom Verlaine's vocals and fret work, Richard Lloyd's angular guitar playing, and Billy Ficca and Fred Smith's halting, unexpected drum and bass work all combined to reassert a guitar-based music during a time when soft-rock and disco ruled the airwaves. The band also ventured -- very successfully -- into extended sonic explorations, despite punk's call for shorter, fa   [ read more ]

2003 reissue! Television's sophomore disc, 1978's Adventure, refined the band's sound a bit with some elegant production, but the songs and playing are just as compelling as on Marquee Moon. Adventure's original eight songs are augmented here by three previously unreleased tracks: "Adventure," an early version of "Glory," and the single mix version of "Ain't That Nothin'," as well as an instrumental rehearsal run-through of "Ain't That Nothin'," included as a hidden bonus track.

"On this remarkable live 1978 artifact, Television recaptures all the fire & daring they lost in the studio.

Double live albums frequently come off as redundant and indulgent, but in the case of Television, The Blow Up comes awfully close to being an essential document, simply because the band's studio albums didn't always capture the rawness and spontaneity that fueled their on-stage improvisations. Both of those qualities are present on The Blow Up in abundance; the sound quality is not exactly pristine, but the performances, recorded in 1978 on what proved to be the band's final tour, are exciting and frequentl   [ read more ]

Marquee Moon is a revolutionary album, but it's a subtle, understated revolution. Without question, it is a guitar rock album -- it's astonishing to hear the interplay between Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd -- but it is a guitar rock album unlike any other. Where their predecessors in the New York punk scene, most notably the Velvet Underground, had fused blues structures with avant-garde flourishes, Television completely strip away any sense of swing or groove, even when they    [ read more ]
