Eurovision songs from the first contest in 1959 upto the date of the CDs release in 1997.
This Is Telex is a brand new compilation collecting 14 tracks from the innovative Belgium trio, covering their career from formation in 1978 up to the final album in 2006. This compilation includes the hit single Moskow Disko as well as their Eurovision Song Contest entry, aptly called Euro-vision. There are also 2 wonderful and previously unreleased tracks unearthed from the Telex archive, a cover of The Beatles' Dear Prudence and a reinterpretation of a Sonny & Cher track called The Beat Goes On/Off. All the tracks were newly mixed and remastered from the original tapes by band members Dan Lacksman and Michel Moers, keeping all the tracks in the spirit of the originals but adding a freshness to them. This compilation sets the way for a comprehensive reissue campaign of the entire Telex catalogue.
The 2017 Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Ukraine’s capital city, Kyiv, which previously hosted the competition in 2005, as well as the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2009 and 2013. The right to host the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest came after Jamala won the 2016 edition in Stockholm with her song 1944.
All 37 songs from Europe's favourite TV show contest together on this official compilation. This 68th edition of the competition will take place in Malmö, Sweden, in May.
