Description
You're bidding on the third Television studio album, TELEVISION (CAPITOL SPRO-79455/79456). This is an original 1992 pressing.
WHITE LABEL PROMO "Promotional Use Only / Not For Sale"
AMG: With its skeletal melodies, starkly dynamic arrangements, and cryptically witty lyrics, Television sounds like one of Tom Verlaine's post-1982 solo albums more than anything else, but with one important difference -- here, Verlaine is working with a second guitarist who is actually worth his while, and while on this set everyone seems to follow Verlaine's lead, with Richard Lloyd on hand to trade licks with Tom, and Fred Smith and Billy Ficca holding down the rhythm section with unobtrusive strength, it's easily the strongest record Verlaine made since Dreamtime in 1981. Anyone wanting to know why Television were one of the most important bands of their time needs to start with Marquee Moon, but if you want further proof that Verlaine and Lloyd truly bring out the best in each other's guitar work, this album will certainly help.
Condition: both the sleeve and the vinyl grade NM. Check out my feedback score; you won't be disappointed.
