Goodnight Beautiful

Television Personalities have been England's great forgotten band for too long. Melody Maker // A comprehensive remastered collection of all of the Television Personalities ground-breaking single releases from the evocative Strangely Beautiful EP through to the dark introspective terrain of Far Away And Lost In Joy. Includes the super rare Favourite Films 12-inch (only previously available on12-inch vinyl) plus the exquisite Goodnight Mr Spaceman and You, Me And Lou Reed EPs. Sequenced in chronological release order including every track and remix, embracing a host of pop culture threads from art, music and writing with all the ironic wit and wisdom of a master tunesmith a veritable L-shaped room of pop desire. A further celebration of the songwriting of Dan Treacy.

This double-disc set is one of the more bountiful compilations gleaned from Mitch Miller's voluminous Columbia Records catalog. Unfortunately, the contents of 50 All-American Favorites (2004) have been confined to the years 1958 to 1962, during which time Miller's unconventional performance style was on its final descent. Mitch Miller & the Gang consisted of Miller fronting a full choral ensemble of vocalists who sang in unison.
