Originally released in 1995, Yes Darling, But Is It Art? is a collection of singles, B-sides and rare recordings from the UK's quintessential punk band Television Personalities. With twenty-four tracks documenting one of the new wave era's most erratic and far-reaching bands, this release is a perfect first-stop sampler of the highlights of the band's career - with pivotal songs like "Part Time Punks," "Where's Bill Grundy Now?" and "14th Floor" - while also delivering an amazingly indispensable dose of rarities. Singer-songwriter Dan Treacy's dry and acerbic wit is on full display here, as is the diversity of TV's sound, touching upon quirky pop, post-punk, folk and psychedelia. Strange, great and essential.
