Vibing Up the Senile Man (Part One) is the second studio album by English rock band Alternative TV.[1] It was released in March 1979 by record label Deptford Fun City.[2] The band followed a more experimental and avant-garde approach than on The Image Has Cracked (1978).[3]
The album's tracks were all reportedly recorded in a single take.[4]
Regarding its musical style, Alternative TV frontman Mark Perry recalled: "There are free jazz influences; I'd got into the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Sun Ra [...] I'd moved into this house with an amazing music room – pianos, clarinets, you name it – and we'd always be picking up stuff from junk shops."[4]
