The Miller's Tale is a 1996 double-CD compilation album by Tom Verlaine. It chronicles his solo career and his career with Television on one CD (including several obscurities) and the other CD is an edited live performance from London in 1982.
[edit] Track overview
The first CD covers the period of the three Television albums, Verlaine's solo work and also contains a selection of previously unreleased songs that were allegedly shelved after being submitted for release in 1986. These tracks were recorded in London, and includes "Your Finest Hour", "O Foolish Heart", "Anna", "Sixteen Tulips", "Call Me The" and "Lindi Lu".
The second CD is an edited release of a 1982 concert in London featuring Jimmy Rip on guitar, Jay Dee Daugherty on drums, Fred Smith on bass and Verlaine on vocals and guitar. This performance is notable for an extended jam in "Always" that differs considerably from the recorded version.
