The eponymously named third and final studio album from Television was recorded and released in 1992, fourteen years after the band's sophomore album "Adventure" (and subsequent breakup) in 1978. In a decade kicked off by alt-rock guitar albums, the band had regrouped in early 1992 with a new sonic identity. Released later in the year, "Television" was completely unexpected and unexpectedly wonderful - and the guitar interplay between Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd was as mesmerizing and unique as ever. Television toured the record into 1993, then would again disappear from the public eye. Upon its worldwide release by Capitol Records, Television vinyl was not available commercially in North America, so fans had to do with the CD (or cassette) or source a pricey import. This 2024 version is being released on the band's imprint Ohoo Records, and has been remastered for vinyl by longtime Tom Verlaine musical collaborator Patrick Derivaz, who was an assistant engineer on these sessions.
