This Board Gives Me Great Things -- The Dreaded Marco Turned Me On To Television The Band (1 Viewer)

We had a thread once about the best things people have picked up from this board.  I believe tucking your undershirt into your boxers was the leader, and deservedly so.

 
Rollin' a new turntable with Marquee Moon on and loving it. Sounds great. Rhino 180 gram vinyl, played through some Sennheisers. Life is good.  

 
Doing the same thing as on Dec. 6, 2017. Listening to Television, more specifically, the new release of Rhino's Hi-Fidelity Marquee Moon on some Grado headphones with a Dragonfly DAC.

This record continues to amaze me.

So does this board.

Peace, everybody.

Was a tight toy night, streets are bright
The world looked so thin between my bones and skin
There stood another person who was a little surprised
To be face to face with a world so alive
How I fell . . .

"Did ya feel low?"

No, not at all

"Huh?"

I fell right into the arms of Venus De Milo
 
In honor of this thread, I'm now listening to the 3 albums (exluding live ones) Spotify has, in reverse order: Television (1992), Adventure (1978) and Marquee Moon (1977).
It's been too long.

Any reviews or thoughts are welcome and will be appreciated greatly.

Honestly not a huge fan of the other two albums - a bit uneven in my view. IMO they're a great band that just caught lightning in a bottle with MM, but couldn't come close thereafter. Not the first band to have that happened to them.

I've listened to Adventure and own a vinyl copy even, but it's uneven. There are no highs like on Marquee Moon. I have yet to hear their '92 release. I can tell you it fetches about $150 for a vinyl copy of it on Discogs.

Just stating for the record that I saw this tour as well, in the Philly suburbs.

The 1992 album is good but it sounds very different from their ‘70s records. In particular the vocals — Verlaine sounds more like Lloyd Cole than himself.
