They said it couldn’t happen here, but it did. They said we could never pull it off, but here it is the 4th volume of the Television Personalities tribute series “Holding Hands Under a Cloudless Sky”. Eight years in the making and a long overdue release with all your favourite (and soon to be favourite) artists. And as Alan McGee once said:
The shambolic genius behind Television Personalities made me realise that I could run a label. Yet this great songwriter still hasn’t been fully recognized for his contribution to music” … “I’m not a nostalgic person, but the first TVP gig I saw in 1982 changed my life. Back then, the first two TVP albums And Don’t the Kids Just Love It and Mummy You’re Not Watching Me established Treacy as the UK’s version of Jonathan Richman, as re-imagined by Ray Davies.

“1980s indie would have sounded very different without Treacy. The international indie underground would sound very different today, too, had it not been for Treacy. His bare honesty, direct DIY approach and emotional fragility have made him one of the biggest influences on that scene in the past decade, revered by the latest generation of hip guitar bands as at least a touchtone and in many cases as their founding father.”
