RE: [‘Marquee Moon’, the song,
8-Track version was it] . with or without the fadeout
ending? Does anyone know? Rex, This may be more than you want to know, but this is from Keith’s
fabulous, comprehensive web-site, The Wonder.. The paragraph inside the parentheses
after the asterisk, * , below that answers your question was co -written many
moons ago by Keith, Philip, and myself. Except for any words inside
brackets [ ], which are just me from another page on The
Wonder.
Marquee Moon (9:55) * Elevation (5:08) Guiding Light (5:36) Prove It (5:04) Torn Curtain (7:00) (* The ending of the song Marquee Moon on the LP, Cassette and 8-Track
fades out; this fade-out begins at about 9:42, and the song ends at 9:55. On
the 1987 CD entitled Marquee Moon and the 1998 CD entitled The Best of
Television & Tom Verlaine, the song does not fadeout, but instead ends with
a crescendo at 10:41 [on 2003 Rhino / Elektra; but 10:37 on 1987/1998 cd
releases, probably because their master-tape was played back a little too fast].
According to knowledgeable sources, the CD version of the song Marquee Moon
uses a different mix that was available from the 1976-77 studio sessions for
the LP. Use of this different mix for the CD version of the song, was done by
Elektra without Television's knowledge. Lenny Kaye recalls that in late 1976
(or early 1977) Elektra gave Verlaine an advance tape of the rough mixes of
Marquee Moon. Kaye listened to the rough mixes and told Verlaine that he
preferred the non-fadeout, but Verlaine said that he preferred the fade-out
version. The LP mix and the CD mix of the song Marquee Moon are, however,
identical for the first 9:55. The incorrect time of 9:58 is written on the
cover of the CD entitled Marquee Moon) CD (US) Rhino / Elektra 72930 2003 Remastered and reissued as a Digi-Pak CD with bonus tracks and liner
notes by Alan Licht. See No Evil (Verlaine) (3:58) Venus (Verlaine) (3:54) Friction (Verlaine) (4:45) Marquee Moon (Verlaine) (10:41) Elevation (Verlaine) (5:10) Guiding Light (Lloyd/Verlaine) (5:37) Prove It (Verlaine) (5:05) Torn Curtain (Verlaine) (7:10) From:
