Double Black Vinyl, 1000 copies only worldwide. A two disc retrospective of every single track released by The Television Personalities between the tail end of 1994 and 1999. Featuring Legendary songwriter Dan Treacy, a gifted teller who places the world in his own hazy shade of focus, heading deep into introspection. “While the sincerity and directness that Treacy employs manages to skilfully transport you into his world, his world is in no way a constantly enjoyable place to be.” Drowned in Sound // Featuring all the EP and single tracks that originally appeared on a host of indie pop labels, it’s a cohesive trip into the mind of the songwriter along with a host of his favourite cover versions. ‘I’m Not Like Everybody Else’, ‘Do You Think If You Were Beautiful You’d Be Happy’, ‘Time Goes By So Slowly When You’re Drowning’, ‘Now That I’m A Junkie!’, ‘The Boy Who Couldn’t Stop Dreaming’, it’s heart on the sleeve stuff delivered as indie pop poetry. A diary of demise. “Seen through this half empty glass, darkly, Dan Treacy is not Pete Doherty. He's Elliott Smith, or Ian Curtis, but honestly, genuinely better and more gifted than either.” Pop Matters // All in a lavish package with extensive sleevenotes and unseen photographs.
