Television not only stripped away the wax buildup that was ruining the surface of rock `n` roll, they inspired countless others to follow - an influence that continues to this day. A regular act at CBGB in the mid-`70s, this urgent, angular, poetic, sparse yet musically complex quartet, fronted by Tom Verlaine, made some of the most compelling rock of the `70s. This remastered reissue of their classic debut includes five bonus tracks - the full-length version of "Little Johnny Jewel", alternate versions of "See No Evil", "Friction" and "Marquee Moon" along with and untitled instrumental. "5 stars"-Blender. |
