TRUE STORIES- ORIGINAL OUT OF PRINT EDITION COLLECTORS ORIGINAL LABEL 1986 SIRE RECORDSRELEASE - NOTE ONLY TITLE NOT 180 GRAM.
Wild Wild Life is the best known song from this album, as both the song and the video got plenty of air time (and you get both the original version and an excellent extended remix here); Love For Sale also met with some success as a single release. Im here to tell you these are not even the best songs on this album. Puzzlin Evidence, Hey Now, and Papa Legba are great but uninspired, but the second half of the album is incredible. Radio Head is the Talking Heads at their eccentric, fast-paced best. People Like Us, sporting a country-type sound, is more laid-back but no less compelling; it is a true song of empowerment and a virtual theme song for "normal" people who only want someone to love. City of Dreams is a touching concluding song that reinforces all the good feelings inspired by both the album and the movie, but even this poignant piece pales in comparison to the almost indescribably good Dream Operator. The Talking Heads arent really known for songs of a soft, tender nature, but Dream Operator is one of the most beautiful songs Ive ever heard.
Put all of these tracks together, mixing a number of different styles in the uniquely David Byrne-inspired way, and you have what I consider one of the best albums of the 1980s. This album never fails to make me feel better and, more importantly, to feel better about myself. This is an album for the average man or woman going about his/her life, wanting nothing more than to be loved and find contentment in his/her own heart. It may be more pop-oriented than earlier, vintage Talking Heads albums, but True Stories remains one of the best LPs in my collection.

High Quality 180g Vinyl Reissue! Pressed at RTI! Cut From Original Analog Stereo Master Tape by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Studios! Classic Album Back On Vinyl! Includes "Life During Wartime", "I Zimbra", "Cities" & "Memories Cant Wait"! Fear of Music, the third studio album by Talking Heads, was recorded at New York City from April to May 1979 and was produced by the group along with Brian Eno. Fear of Music reached #21 on the Billboard 200 in the U.S. and peaked at number 33 on the UK Albums Chart. The album produced three singles "Life During Wartime", "I Zimbra", and "Cities". The album is often considered one of the best Talking Heads releases featuring the unconventional rhythms and frontman David Byrnes performances. "Among the most adventuresome bands in rock history, the Talking Heads drew from funk, minimalism, and African and Brazilian music in promulgating a new sound that was both visionary and visceral. They were invariably challenging and inventive, using infectious rhythms as a form of sorcery to introduce their ever-expanding audience to exotic influences from abroad that they might otherwise have never heard. In so doing, they helped pave the way – along with the likes of Peter Gabriel and Brian Eno – for the “world music” phenomenon of the Eighties and beyond. They also created a body of highly original work, crowned by such albums as Fear of Music and Remain in Light, that didn’t so much appropriate its sources as transmute them into something that felt startlingly new and improbably accessible."–Rock & Roll Hall of Fame "5 Stars"- Rolling Stone Features: • High Quality 180g Vinyl • Pressed at RTI • Cut From Original Analog Stereo Master Tape • Mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Studios • Original LP Replica Packaging Musicians: David Byrne, vocals, guitars Jerry Harrison, guitars, keyboards, backing vocals Tina Weymouth, bass guitar, backing vocals Chris Frantz, drums Additional musicians include: Brian Eno, electronic treatments, backing vocals Robert Fripp, guitar (1) Selections: 1.

The Talking Heads Remain In Light 180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE LIMITED EDITION LP -COLLECTORS NOTE: THE LP HAS THE ORIGINAL RELEASE MARKETING DUAL STICKERS STILL ATTACHED ON THE FRONT OF THE LOOSE PLASTIC WRAP TO VERIFY ITS ORIGINAL 180 GRAM RELESE
1980s African-inflected Remain In Light, the Heads third album produced by Brian Eno, was the first to crack the Top 20 and introduced the signature track "Once In A Lifetime."
Formed in the mid 70s by art school chums David Byrne, Chris Franz, and Tina Weymouth - and ex-Modern Lover Jerry Harrison - Talking Heads rose out of the CBGB punk crucible and proved themselves one of the most artistically adventurous and influential bands ever. Their visionary, polyrhythmic sound fused elements including rock, funk, and punk with diverse world beats, avant-garde minimalism, and self-produced classics and on to their swan song (1988s Steve Lilywhite-produced NAKED), the Heads constantly broke creative boundaries while also scoring smart radio hits including "Burning Down the House", "Wild Wild Life", and from Remain In Light "Once In a Lifetime".

Classic Talking Heads Platinum Album Back On Vinyl!
In 2011, Ranked #54 on Rolling Stones 100 Best Albums of The Eighties!
Features 1983 Hit Single "Burning Down The House" + "Girlfriend Is Better" & "This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)"!
The groups fifth studio album, released in 1983, proved to become their commercial breakthrough producing their first American Top 10 single, "Burning Down The House".
"The bands playful side indeed shines through on the albums nine songs, which include such tracks as the wobbly "Making Flippy Floppy," the animated "Girlfriend Is Better" and the cheery "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)." For all its lightheartedness, however, the album still managed to fuse the bands disparate musical interests, most notably the Afro-funk that Byrne had led the band to explore on its preceding album, Remain in Light, and the dance-oriented sounds that drummer Chris Frantz and bassist Tina Weymouth had pursued with the Tom Tom Club. And years of touring had given the Heads a sense of how to craft songs that would appeal to their audience."- RollingStone, April 2011
On March 5, 2012, Slant Magazine listed Talking Heads "Speaking In Tongues" as#89 on their list of Best Albums of the 1980s.
"If the title of the Talking Heads sixth album found them embracing their lyrical Dadaism with an almost religious zealotry, and if the titles mission statement is more than fulfilled in the likes of "Moon Rocks" ("I ate a rock from the moon/Got shicked once, shocked twice") and "Girlfriend Is Better" (where "Stop making sense" became a mantra), its also worth noting that the tunes were counter intuitively accessible like never before, no more so than "Burning Down the House," which set fire to no wave and planted one of the many seeds for new wave."Slant Magazine, March 5, 2012
"Speaking in Tongues, Talking Heads first studio release in three years, is the album that finally obliterates the thin line separating arty white pop music and deep black funk. Picking up where their 1980 Afro-punk fusion Remain in Light left off, this LP consummates the Heads marriage of art-school intellect and dance-floor soul. Imbued with an adventurous spirit thats as close to Televisions Marquee Moon as it is to Michael Jacksons Thriller, Grand Master Flashs "The Message" and Nigerian high-life music, Speaking in Tongues gives new meaning to the word crossover - 5 1/2 Stars"- rollingstone, David Fricke, June 9, 1983
"...Despite their formal power, Talking Heads preceding two albums seemed to have painted them into a corner, which may be why it took them three years to craft a follow-up, but on Speaking in Tongues, they found an open window and flew out of it."- allmusic

Brian Eno & David Byrne My Life In the Bush of Ghosts 2LP SET THIS IS THE ORIGINAL COLLECTORS 2006 NONESUCH RECORDS RELEASE NOT THE RE-PRESS - COLLECTORS NOTE: THE LP HAS THE ORIGINAL RELEASE MARKETING STILL STILL ATTACHED ON THE FRONT.
Upon initial release critics were divided and audiences were, well, confused. Eno and Byrne themselves didn’t know quite what they were looking for at first. They shared an enthusiasm for African music, especially the hypnotic grooves of Nigerian Fela Kuti, and a desire to free themselves from the constraints of conventional songwriting. They embarked on a nomadic journey through studios in New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The players who accompanied them on these sessions included drummers Chris Frantz (Talking Heads) and Prairie Prince (The Tubes), bassist Bill Laswell (Material) and Tim Wright (DNA), avant-garde percussionist Dave Van Teighem and conga player Steve Scales, part of the Remain In Light live band. The result of their labors was an album that married West African and American R&B rhythms with the impassioned voices of talk-show hosts and evangelists taped off the radio or the evocative sound of prayerful singers culled from Middle Eastern field recordings. Byrne recalls their entire
adventure in fascinating liner notes that detail the recording process and address the resulting critical furor. My Life in the Bush of Ghosts was cut between Talking Heads’ Fear of Music (1979) and Remain In Light (1980), but sample clearance issues, an almost unheard-of-problem in the analog era, kept it on hold until 1981.
This updated, 180 gram, double LP edition is fully remastered, includes seven unreleased tracks from the original recording session and six multi track selections. The bonus material includes tracks that had been considered for but never made it to the original LP and a smart, informative historical /critical essay by author-musicologist-recording artist David Toop. Also featured are various drum, vocal and ambient multitracks on Side 4.
Back in 1980, Eno and Byrne were fomenting musical evolution, but wound up triggering a sonic revolution. With My Life in the Bush of Ghosts they had stumbled onto the future.
