Television Personalities - Camping In France (1991)

Britain's Television Personalities enjoyed one of the new wave era's longest, most erratic, and most far-reaching careers. Over the course of a musical evolution that led them from wide-eyed shambling pop to the outer reaches of psychedelia and back, they directly influenced virtually every major pop uprising of the period, with artists as diverse as feedback virtuosos the Jesus and Mary Chain, twee pop titans the Pastels, and lo-fi kingpins Pavement readily acknowledging Television Personalities' inspiration.             

"Camping In France" is a quite good sounding (semi)-boot from December 1985. With Jowe Head of Swell Maps on guitar and backing vocals, a bit messy and shobby but in the end it's just great, great fun.

Brilliant, many thanks! Massive influence on me, let alone music, first heard them on the John Peel show (probably 1978 or 79) and have been a fan ever since.

Love your blog btw

Thanks a lot for your feedback. First saw them in concert in 1986 or 1987 and was flashed.
