(TV) Call Mr Lloyd

["earcandy_archive" <earcandy_archive@comcast.net>]

It was 7 years ago that I first heard Tom Verlaine say:
"This here's a newie....goes like this"

And now that an album may be nearing completion (according to Jimmy Rips
recent blog posting), perhaps some of those newies have made their way to
the studio.

Now, I'm one of those fans that feels Television just isn't Television
without Richard Lloyd.  But Ill certainly buy the album, and no doubt
thoroughly enjoy it, even while thinking of it as a Tom Verlaine Band solo
album.

However, I thought it worthwhile to compile the better sounding versions of
the new songs as they've been played over the last few years, as a way to
enjoy the songs with Lloyd's interaction. No telling, of course,  if any or
all of these songs even made into the studio along with Mr Rip.  I have my
doubts that "Swell" would be included, for instance....as it always seemed
like just a "tune-up" song in concert before segueing into "1880 or So".
I've also put on a few "jamming" tracks as bonus tracks, just for grins.

Im asking fellow TV fans to help choose the track sequencing, as they think
it should be if this was the real album.  Keep in mind that these are
audience lo-fi tracks; there is audience talking, and certainly wont be the
sonic pleasure that the album will be.  But, it serves possibly as a
souvenir of how they sounded when Richard was still involved.

Available as either a compressed rar file or a winzip file (whichever is
your preference).  Unpack the files using winrar or winzip respectively.
