This new collection brings together classic radio sessions from Television Personalities, the masters of DIY post-punk and indie pop. Featuring two 80s BBC sessions that aired on John Peel and Andy Kershaw, along with a super rare 1992 WMBR set, this double LP features covers of Buzzcocks, The Raincoats and Daniel Johnston with previously unreleased songs and a bonus download WFMU session from 1993

‘Tune In, Turn On, Drop Out’ captures this pilgrim’s progress to pop nirvana, a psychedelic wonderland shaded by dark and brooding memories, all played out through a crackling transistor radio secreted under the pillow so that these sketches of society remain perfectly personal, a direct line into Dan’s psyche.

I’ve always loved and still love Dan Tracey who unfortunately no longer performs after a catastrophic brain hemorrhage in 2016. He was one of the first Creation signings and his influence and importance to independent music is always going to be bigger than record sales.

A very honest and raw songwriter who wrestled with a lot of demons. His approach influenced my love of pop culture and a will to create your own personal universe from it. Long may he sail.
