(TV) Krispie Cremes in 1984 Manchester

["Casey, Leo J" <CaseyL@VOLPE.DOT.GOV>]

Speaking of visiting Manchester and Verlaine circa 1984:

I have always been amazed at the photos that appear on the 
front covers of  Let Go The Mansion (3:06)// Let Go The Mansion 
(Instrumental version no. 2) (3:06)/ Lindi-Lu (3:40) 
[UK 12" single 45rpm Virgin VS 696-12 1984 ]

and Five Miles of You (Extended Mix) (5:36) // Your Finest 
Hour (2:28) / Dissolve/Reveal (Instrumental) (4:43)
[UK 12" single 45rpm Virgin VS 704-12 1984 ].

TV looks extremely uncomfortable in this Virgin Records[?] 
photo shoot.  Was this one of the only times he succumbed 
(or was forced at gunpoint) into letting a record company try 
to "package" him.  

I actually find these photos rather endearing despite TV's obvious 
stiffness  and the silly poses.

Also, unlike his usually emaciated looks, his puffy face here and the 
black raincoat/cloak gear make Tom look like he's been scarfing 
down Krispie Cremes for the previous 2 months.

	Can anyone shed any light on the story behind this photo shoot?

	Leo

> I was in Manchester in 1984. It was a beautiful, dreamy place,

Are you sure you're talking about Manchester in the north-west of England ?
That's not how I see it !!! :-)
