Returning to where it all began, Talking Heads proudly presents the brand new and extensive Talking Heads: 77 (Super Deluxe Edition). This Super Deluxe Edition charts the development of the band from the original trio of David Byrne, Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth into the classic four-person lineup with the addition of former Modern Lover member Jerry Harrison.
Spread across nearly three hours of material, this Super Deluxe Edition features a brand new remaster of the original album on LP1.
The second LP features a collection of rarities encompassing outtakes and previously unreleased alternate versions, including the never before heard "Psycho Killer (Alternate Version)" and "Pulled Up (Alternate 'Pop' Version)."
LP3 and LP4 contain a previously unreleased recording of the band's final show at CBGB's in New York City on October 10th, 1977.
A beautiful 80-page hardcover book is included, with new liner notes from Tina, David, Chris and Jerry and featuring rare and unreleased photos of the band and ephemera throughout the era.
The Super Deluxe Edition also contains reproductions of the four Sire Records 7"s from Talking Heads: 77 including "Love → Building on Fire / New Feeling," "Uh-Oh, Love Comes to Town / I Wish You Didn't Say That," "Psycho Killer / Psycho Killer (Acoustic)" and "Pulled Up / Don't Worry About the Government." All with picture sleeves.
Talking Heads: 77 was a striking debut that sounds even better now than when it first arrived.
