Having just seen Television play at The Powerstation late last year, and also read Patti Smith's Just Kids in which Tom Verlaine appears, I was keen to read more on the background of the recording of this legendary album. The 33 1/3 books, now numbering 86 titles, is an amazing series of cute little paperbacks describing the creation of key rock and pop albums. They describe the social and historical context of the period in which the album was made, and reveal insights into the artists creative influences. This title summarises the New York punk explosion around the CBGB's club on the Lower East Side, and the evolution of Television's sound and songwriting, the line-up changes and relationships, and critically examines the album track by track. If you're a fan of Television, this is essential reading.
