Description

Wow, what you are bidding on is a beautiful, very old, UK pressing of TV PERSONALITIES: MUMMY YOURE NOT WATCHING ME. The lp is VG+ or better condition (the lp looks unplayed). If you need this lp, this is the one to get. Long out of print. This is a real hard one to find in this condition. DREAMWORLD, 1986.

From Artist Direct:

The second full-length Television Personalities release (and the first product of Daniel Treacy's Whaam! label, later renamed Dreamworld after George Michael's manager offered them a pot of money to change the name) adds a full-time bass player to the original trio and sets the Wayback Machine ahead about 18 months from the debut's Swinging Carnaby Street sound. The darker, more psychedelic "Mummy Your (sic) Not Watching Me" is considerably less twee than "And Don't the Kids Just Love It," covering Treacy's increasingly self-effacing lyrics in a wash of keyboards and phased guitars. There are a few songs that still show the influence of the earlier Television Personalities sound, including the wistful "Magnificent Dreams" and a remake of the single "Painting By Numbers," originally released under the name the Gifted Children, but the key track is the lengthy "David Hockney's Diaries," an acid rock drone that introduces an entirely different texture into the band's sound that Treacy would explore further on the next several albums. This is a transitional album that has tended to be shortchanged by both reviewers and fans, but there's much to recommend here
