The Image Has Cracked

First album by seminal British punk band Alternative TV, originally released in 1978, The Image Has Cracked displays the broad minded Mark Perry's vision of modern music. The album is a crossover between dub, reggae, punk and kraut rock, bringing to life the musical ideas of the author of one of the earliest and most acclaimed punk fanzines, the infamous Sniffin' Glue - whose last issue also served to launch the band's first single on flexi disc in 1977.
