Alternative TV - The Image Has Cracked (Ltd 500 Coloured Vinyl)

A cornerstone of the UK’s late-70s underground, The Image Has Cracked is the groundbreaking debut album from Alternative TV. First released in 1978, it stands as a fierce and uncompromising statement—bridging raw punk energy with experimental edges that hinted at post-punk’s future.

Fronted by Mark Perry (founder of Sniffin’ Glue fanzine), ATV pushed beyond punk’s limitations, delivering sharp social commentary, abrasive rhythms, and moments of daring improvisation. Tracks like “Action Time Vision” capture the spirit of rebellion, while the album’s more avant-garde passages show the band’s refusal to be boxed in.

This Limited Edition Coloured vinyl edition is a must-have for fans of first-wave punk and post-punk evolution—a snapshot of a scene refusing to stand still.

Perfect for collectors, punks, and anyone interested in the true DIY spirit of the era.
