Sorry, it's not commercially available. I have heard some other, later versions with lyrics (of a sort) and assume that "Persia" will make its appearance on Television's album-in-progress. Knowing that that is a project that has been underway since 2005, I'm not holding my breath.
I pray we see a 4th Television release; or a solo Tom Verlaine would be magnificent to hear in 2022 !!
I saw them in Santiago, Chile this past April 24th, they played Persia indeed and it was breathtaking. No words to explain how good it sounded.
Absolutely staggering. So sad Tom has left us. What a band they were.
Awesome ‼️😎🔥🎸
No fourth Lp in sight. This is fantastic beyond belief! C'mon Tom!? Do they even have a label?
I'm seeing them tomorrow night!
Most Excellent
Fantastic - thank you for posting. Reminds me of the Bunnymen's "Thorn of Crowns"
reminds me of the doors, and thereafter of the dream syndicate.
Hmmm, me likes; haven't heard this before...is it on any commercially available album of theirs?
Where was this version recorded? Is this a vinyl rip?
I'll have to do a bit of research on its origins. I would say circa 2004-5, though, that's Richard Lloyd and not Jimmy Rip if I remember correctly.

Yesterday??!! Where was that? I was only aware of them planning some shows in Japan later this year...
RIP Tom V - just an awesome guitarist as this track so magnificently attests!
