Tom Verlaine has always been a great songwriter, and Television's debut Marquee Moon stands as one of the greatest guitar records ever. The band dissolved after just two albums, however, and once Verlaine embarked upon a solo career he began to make subtle changes to his sound. His solo style tended away from punk accusations and more towards ballads, a trend that started with "Days" on Television's second album, Adventure. The Wonder was released in 1990 three years after Verlaines release of the solo record 'Flash Light'.

 *Other Notes*

This is two demo recording sessions from Television in 1974 & 1975. The bands highly acclaimed debut album 'Marquee Moon' was released in 1977 (Elektra Records) and was very successful in Europe however failed to enter the Billboard 200 in the USA.

Both sessions were included on the bootleg 'Double Exposure' which surfaced in Italy (No Label No. DE-92-SC), and was first released in 1992. The original bootleg included three live tracks from CBGB's in 1975, that are missing from this version.

The Television 1974 demos were recorded at Good Vibrations Studios in NYC with Richard Hell on bass, and produced by Brian Eno and Richard Williams of Island Records.

The August 1975 demos were recorded with Fred Smith on bass and were part of the session for Terry Ork of Ork Records which produced Television's first single "Little Johnny Jewel" (Ork, 1975, included on expanded re-issue of Marquee Moon).

It is fascinating listening to the early versions of these songs that eventually appeared on 'Marquee Moon'. Each session and versions are distinctly different the second having a 'harder edge' to them and closer to the final released editions.
