The Story of the Failed Television & Brian Eno Sessions

In December of 1974, an Island Records A&R exec out of London put together a demo session for punk pioneers Television. They were joined in the studio by Brian Eno, formerly of Roxy Music, who had gone solo that same year. With hopes of a promising endeavor to pitch the band to label heads, the sessions instead were a complete failure with the band and Eno leaving frustrated. This is the story of those fateful demo sessions, the stakes on the table for both Television and Eno, and why they went so catastrophically wrong. 👉 Subscribe for More Vinyl Videos: https://youtube.com/c/AndyFenstermaker/?sub_confirmation=1 WATCH NEXT: ✓ The Rise of CBGBs: https://youtu.be/GxkZ8dQp51E ✓ The Legend of the Painted Guitar: https://youtu.be/ScjgsWlsljI ✓ Here Are The Sonics: https://youtu.be/f5ENuJ6v4ko 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLylroYWVYWWXL84MH1T4Qr0wrRzjwlGMR Get Television on Vinyl 🎧 https://amzn.to/3ZAzSj2 Poetic Wax is hosted by Andy Fenstermaker.
