Black Flag released TV Party as a single in 1982 on SST Records, capturing the Los Angeles hardcore band at a pivotal moment in their evolution. By this point, the group had moved beyond pure sonic assault into territory marked by angular riffs, rhythmic precision, and Henry Rollins' increasingly direct lyrical approach. The single stands as a compact statement of the band's ability to balance abrasiveness with structural clarity—qualities that would define their most acclaimed later work.

The title track distills Black Flag's hardcore ethos into three minutes of propulsive energy, built on a relentless groove and Rollins' conversational yet confrontational delivery. "I've Got To Run" shifts the momentum with a more driving pace, while "My Rules" delivers exactly what the title promises: uncompromising declaration wrapped in muscular instrumentation. These tracks showcase the band's gift for creating hooks within a decidedly anti-commercial framework, proving that accessibility and uncompromising intent need not conflict.

This 1990 reissue on 45 RPM vinyl—marked ℗ 1985 SST Records—brings the single back into circulation as both document and practical object. The 7" format at 45 RPM captures these songs with enhanced clarity and presence, while the large spindle hole marks it as a proper 45 pressing. For collectors and players alike, owning TV Party on this pressing restores a fundamental Black Flag statement to the format it was designed for, making a difference audible in every spin.
