"Prove It" was the second single from Marquee Moon, Television's 1977 debut album, and it came out in the UK on July 22 that year on Elektra. It had already been a staple of the band's early live shows, often the song that closed the night, and its lyric plays out like a detective story, which suits the song's wound-up, nervy energy.
The British pressing came in green: 15,000 copies on light green vinyl, then 15,000 more on dark green. It spent four weeks on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at 25 on July 30, and NME ranked it 40th among the year's best singles.
