@Jett129 - oh dear. this album is the one that always got me. close, personal, Bruce being the great poet from the neighbourhood, anywhere, similar to the one i grew up. i'll watch the movie, but i'm not the optimist
-
@endo - ahhh pink flag. Such a fantastic album! Unbelievable songs for a debut. Songs like Ex Lion tamer will never get old

@endo said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):
… a masterpiece, one of so many from 77!
Would agree with!
Now I’ve to look where my Television record is ;-). -
Today's listening pleasure - Jeremie Albino - Our time In The Sun. Soulful vocals featuring the brill guitar work of Barrie Cadogan (you may know him from the theme tune to Better Call Saul).

I'll agree with you both on '77 for my next listen this morning even though the sleeve is rough (record itself is unscathed)

Never heard this @GraemeE
Gorgeous.
Brian Eno, the wizard of his time!“
With all that context, the most interesting thing about picking up Television's Marquee Moon-- today, for us folks who weren't old enough to buy the first edition vinyl-- is how ahistorical it sounds. If you listen to their original Brian Eno-produced demos, you hear a scragglier, faster band that's less confident and more... punk? If nothing else, the band at least sounded closer to the sometimes-sloppy Bowery clubrats Eno must have taken them for on those early tapes. Their sound on Marquee Moon, though, is clean, raw and simple!
