Television - "Double Exposure" /Eno demos/ Live w/Patti Smith
This is two demo recording sessions from Television in 1974 & 1975. The bands highly acclaimed debut album 'Marquee Moon' was released in 1977 (Elektra Records) and was very successful in Europe however failed to enter the Billboard 200 in the USA.
Both sessions were included on the bootleg 'Double Exposure' which surfaced in Italy (No Label No. DE-92-SC), and was first released in 1992. The original bootleg included three live tracks from CBGB's in 1975, that are missing from this version.
The Television 1974 demos were recorded at Good Vibrations Studios in NYC with Richard Hell on bass, and produced by Brian Eno and Richard Williams of Island Records.
The August 1975 demos were recorded with Fred Smith on bass and were part of the session for Terry Ork of Ork Records which produced Television's first single "Little Johnny Jewel" (Ork, 1975, included on expanded re-issue of Marquee Moon).

GET ENO DEMOS
MY sense; this is very confusing as to what is what but fact is it's great music from one of THEE best bands ever. so just get it.
also; here is the complete Television bootleg series.
an added piece of trivia i found on wiki is;
# According to the liner notes of the 2003 reissue, Television originally wanted to record Marquee Moon with veteran jazz recording engineer Rudy Van Gelder (John Coltrane's A Love Supreme, most of the classic Blue Note Records catalog) at his legendary Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey recording studio.
# The album cover features a portrait of the band taken by Robert Mapplethorpe.
# The song "Marquee Moon" was done in one take; drummer Billy Ficca thought that they were rehearsing
and also a real treat below is the live CBGB show with Patti Smith on stage with em.
versions of "Birdland" and "Redondo Beach" included. just a great archive!
Television - "Early Gig" - Television's earliest available gig with Patti Smith live at CBGB's NY 17th April 1975
90 MB, mp3 VBR @ 128-320: Fire Engine / Judy / Poor Circulation / Breakin' My Heart / Soldier Boy (Foxhole) / (Patti Smith then joins in) We're Going To Have A Real Good Time Together / Redondo Beach / Birdland / Space Monkey / Distant Fingers / Gloria / (Second set without Patti Smith) Venus / Marquee Moon / Friction. Richard Hell left Television in March/April 1975, so it is not sure who plays bass here - any guesses, anyone?
