There are many Television Personalities compilations, but this 1999 22-track disc is as close to definitive as any. Compiled by band leader and sole permanent member Daniel Treacy, PART TIME PUNKS starts with 1978's "14th Floor" and continues through to 1989's "Sad Mona Lisa." This means that excellent albums like 1992's CLOSER TO GOD are overlooked, but it's difficult to limit this prolific band's best work within a circumscribed time frame.

Collecting rare singles like 1980's "Smashing Time," and tracks from classic albums like 1981's AND DON'T THE KIDS JUST LOVE IT and 1985's THE PAINTED WORD, this is a terrific overview of one of the most influential British pop bands of the postpunk era. The extensive liner notes are by Alan McGee, founder of the archetypal British indie Creation Records and the Television Personalities' self-proclaimed number one fan.

First-ever 'best of' for the British new wave act. Features22 tracks chronicling their entire career since theirstart in the late '70s. Includes 'Part Time Punks', 'Look Back In Anger' and 'How I Learned To Love The... Bomb'. 1999 release.

Liner Note Author: Alan McGee.Q (5/02 SE, p.143) - 4 stars out of 5 - Included in Q's "100 Best Punk Albums" - "...An hilarious snide satire of shambolic amatuerism with three chords, if that. An instant hit with John Peel..."

Raw & Alive & Rarities/Live At Merlin's Music/Rare Seeds
Raw & Alive & Rarities/Live At Merlin's Music/Rare Seeds CD  (1967) (Import) United Kingdom

Part Time Punks: The Very Best Of Television Personalities CD music
CD $15.89  Top 500
RAW & ALIVE AT MERLIN'S MUSIC was originally released in 1967. The Seeds were an exceptional band that never achieved the success that they inspired. This album has a truly psychedelic cover with too-dark-for-pastel colors, swirling letters over eerie faces, and dynamic black and white photos on the back. If you want to see the image of Iggy Pop clothed, just look at Sky Saxon in the bottom right photo on the back cover with the screaming girl holding a flower grabbing at him. He had the image down, as well as the music. "900 Million People Daily All Making Love" sounds so much like the Doors and Jim Morrison's "When the Music's Over," one has to wonder which came first, or did they copy each other? "Mumble and Bumble" is a trippy "Alabama Song," but where Morrison is looking for the next whiskey bar, Saxon is off looking for flowers and magic mushrooms. The band has great energy which is pierced by annoying canned applause à la the Rolling Stones' Got Live If You Want It. This is a record album, not a situation comedy TV show, after all; what's the point of overdubbing an audience onto what is really good music? Sure, "No Escape" is a prelude to the closer and hit "Pushin' Too Hard" with a tip of the hat to Martha & the Vandellas, while "Can't Seem to Make You Mine" is placed nicely in mid-set, a song after the truncated "Up in Her Room." The revelation that is this "concert" album is what a great band the Seeds really were, and how Sky Saxon's vocals have a gritty edge that he held back on us in many of the studio recordings. "Gypsy Plays His Drums" has a great chug-chug guitar, nice off-key ...
