Limited 10" vinyl pressing with die-cut TV sleeve. One of the first punk rock bands of the '70s music revolution, and certainly the first in Ireland, The Radiators From Space came roaring out of a 7-inch 45 with (I'm gonna smash my Telecaster through the) 'Television Screen' in April of 1977, a month after 'White Riot'. Before the year's end, a second 45 'Enemies' (sometimes NMEies) and the "TV Tube Heart" long-player had appeared. Although the second single was on there, the debut was recorded in an altogether more relaxed style, presaging that there would be more to The Radiators than three chords and a polemic. In fact, they were obviously more sophisticated players than some of their contemporaries. The album was a full-on assault on all that any self-respecting youth would find wrong about the world at the time. All band members contributed to the songs, but it was Philip Chevron's acerbic, angry, pointed and literary lyrics that gave the band such an edge.
