Eine unverzichtbare Raritäten-Compilation die den Zeitraum 1981 bis 2005 abdeckt. Seit ihrer Gründung 1977 veröffentlichten die TELEVISION PERSONALITIES 8 Studioalben, begleitet von unzähligen Line-Up Wechseln mit Songwriter Dan Treacy als einzige Konstante. Für diese neue 24 Track Compilation suchte TVP-Mastermind Dan Treacy wirklich rares und ungewöhnliches Material zusammen. Neben alten Demos und Liveversionen selten gespielter und nie veröffentlichter Songs sind auch 3 brandneue Aufnahmen zu hören. In naher Zukunft soll ein brandneues Album der TELEVISION PERSONALITIES veröffentlicht werden, Gerüchten zufolge sogar beim führenden UK Indie-Label Domino Records (FRANZ FERDINAND, Will Oldham, SEBADOH u.v.a). Dan Treacy sagt über 'And They All Lived Happily Ever After': 'Ich sehe dieses als unser 'Odds and Sods' Album - vielleicht eher 'Sods and Mods'. Es wurde buchstäblich von den 'Fans' zusammengestellt, die Leute bekommen einige ihrer Lieblingserinnerungen. Ich bin auch erfreut, dass wir Kuriositäten wie das ABBA Cover 'The Visitors' und den Arthur Lee Tribute 'You Are Something' aufgestöbert haben.' - Zu den vielen Highlights des Albums gehören wunderschöne Versionen von TVP's Klassikern wie 'Smashing Time', 'Games For Boys', 'A Good And Faithful Servant', 'Sad Mona Lisa' und rare Tracks wie 'Another Rainy Day In Manchester', ein sanfter Seitenhieb auf THE SMITHS und MORRISSEY, und das Demo von 'Girl At The Bus Stop', welches exklusiv für die BMX BANDITS aufgenommen wurde, damit diese ihre Version des Songs einspielen konnten. Außerdem gibt es MORRISSEY und PAUL WELLER zu hören, wie sie die TVP's 1983 bei der 'Round Table Show' von BBC Radio 1 reviewen. Aufgrund der Seltenheit von einigen Songs ist die Qualität an manchen Stellen nicht optimal, aber auch das macht die Schönheit dieses Albums aus. ZITATE: 'this music is truly magical' - MELODY MAKER 'I loved them. I still love them. They changed my life and I hope they'll change yours. They should have been bigger than the Beatles.' Alan McGee (CREATION RECORDS-Gründer, OASIS-Entdecker, LIBERTINES-Manager) Musician, writer, painter, enigma, cultural icon, all of these and more apply to Billy Childish, an artist the world is waking up to. Over three years in the making, 'Billy Childish Is Dead' is the first ever in-depth documentary to explore the extraordinary life of the man behind the myth. Billy Childish is reputed to have recorded 100 LP's during his 24-year career. As if that's not enough to be getting on with, he's also painted 2,000 odd paintings, written 2 novels & penned 30 plus volumes of poetry. Expelled from the prestigious St Martins School of Art early in his career, Childish has continued to paint, write and make music independently ever since. Childish bands have long been championed by a succession of more established artists; Kurt Cobain liked Thee Mighty Caesars, & more recently The White Stripes - Jack White appeared on Top Of The Pop's with Billy's name scrawled on his forearm. Billy has also enjoyed an increasing public profile over the last twelve months with regular articles and interviews appearing in national newspapers and magazines. His stock as an artist is probably at its greatest. Featuring rare archive footage from many of Billy's musical projects, 'Billy Childish Is Dead' offers a fascinating insight into Billy's life and his views on many aspects of his childhood, career achievements and everyday existence, Billy granted the filmmakers access into his home and on tour with his current band The Buff Medways. Many of Billy's friends, colleagues and admirers, including Shane McGowan, Holly Golightly, journalists Miranda Sawyer and Matthew Collings, Kids director Larry Clark and renowned author Bevis Hillier give their own unique insights into the man and the phenomenon.
