Old Vinyl (Part 7)

Television - Marquee Moon

Here we have another classic tune of the early new wave era.
The 12" version is the full nearly 10 minute version with stereo and mono versions, I actually bought the 7" version first which is the stereo version split into 2 parts over the 2 sides.
The reason for stereo and mono versions was probaly to impress young lads like myself who had only just got their first Stereo equipment and could listen in awe at different sounds coming out of the 2 speakers, and if it was all too much for us we could go back to the usual mono sound we were comfortable with :)

CBGB's And The Birth Of US Punk

A British compilation from about 2002, includes a few of the more obvious artists like the Ramones, Blondie and the Velvet Underground while missing some you would expect on a CBGB's comp like the Talking Heads and Patti Smith.
But this makes it a good comp as it includes some artists which are unexpected, such as the excellent Pere Ubu and Suicide plus the best version of Roadrunner.
