Tuned In


Television - Marque Moon
Ripped from a 12" vinyl single released on Elektra Records (K 12252) in 1977 to high resolution 24-bit flac audio. Likely one of the most instantly recognisable riffs to come out of 1977 New York, here from one of my sharpest rips to date. Television were too technically competent to be punks or post-punks but I think this deserves a spot on the current run of postings. Ripping the mono version from the flip side was a challenge to get right.

  2. I got the elpee when it came out on the back of an effusive Nick Kent review in the NME, oh what days! For a long time if I played this track I had to switch the stereo off immediately after because nothing I had/could think of could follow it. Thanks so much for this!

  3. :o)

    Indeed. Of course, they actually preceded the alleged advent of punk, accepting 1976 in this instance. Little story. http://fremsley.tumblr.com/post/94370136336

    Thanks for this. I realise there were gazillions of this 12" around at one point, but I hope I looked after mine (and the Foxhole one) a little better than most.

    I had a point during the middle of 2016, where I was convinced the sky had fallen, where I deleted everything else from my media player and just played their entire oeuvre on repeat for a couple of weeks straight.

  5. It would be great to have a FLAC version of the Eno demos, which I have at very very very crappy 128kbps MP3... Downloaded aeons ago from some blog I've forgotten about...

  6. Here's a flac rip of the Double Exposure "unofficial" CD. The first five tracks are said to be Eno demos but apparently Richard Lloyd claimed in 2013: "This was NOT produced by Brian Eno...we...didn't use a single idea that Eno brought.”
