Television - Winghead Mix

I was speaking to someone today and was astonished to learn that he had never heard Marquee Moon. We have numerous bands in common that we like and tho he is probably 20 years younger than me (mid 40's?) this really did surprise me. So here's a brief intro to Television and the genius of Tom Verlaine should you be in the same position

Tracklist: 
Little Johnny Jewel / Venus / Marquee Moon / Foxhole / Days / Little Johnny Jewel (Live SF78) 
There are only two types of people in the world. Those who have heard Marquee Moon and those who haven't

Bonus: 
Marquee Moon - Live @Earth Tavern Portland Oregon (2/7/78) Fugn mindboggling!

Television: Fred Smith / Tom Verlaine / Billy Ficca / Richard Lloyd
