Bought autographed copy new in 1975 at Bleecker Bob's in NYC. I remember the new rock scene in the east village then was just starting and this was one of the first bands to emerge.
Television were one of the most creative bands to emerge from New York's punk scene
of the mid-'70s, creating an influential new guitar vocabulary. While guitarists
Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd liked to jam, they didn't follow the accepted rock structures for improvisation -- they removed the blues while retaining the raw energy of garage rock, adding complex, lyrical solo lines that recalled both jazz and rock...(AllMusic)
One of the original New York bands of the early 70s that had a huge impact on the development of punk.
The result is a nervous/edgy kind of proto punk that is unique and quite fascinating even today. Where the Ramones were the forefathers of all the „generic“ punk bands,
Television were the blueprint for many „art punk“ bands that came after
- Mission of Burma, Embarrassment etc. A classic collectors item.....
