Talking Heads' Debut Album Talking Heads: 77: Super Deluxe Edition on 3CD + Blu-ray + Book. Features a New (AAA) Remaster of the Album Cut From the Original Master Tapes. Also Features a Collection of Rarities Encompassing Outtakes and Previously Unreleased Alternate Versions.
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.
Talking Heads: 77 is the ever auspicious debut album from what was the most highly touted new wave band to ever emerge from New York's CBGB's scene and it immediately set them apart from their counterparts in both sound and scope. Both unique and infectious, David Byrne's high, yelping tenor serves as the perfect complement to the band's tightly-wound yet kinetic rhythms here, making for a tuneful collection of songs highlighted by the twisted anthem "Psycho Killer" and the joyous "Pulled Up."
Spread across nearly three hours of material, this Super Deluxe Edition features a brand new remaster of the original album. The expanded album also 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)’.
Plus the Super Deluxe Edition offers up a previously unreleased recording of the band’s final show at CBGB’s in New York City on October 10, 1977.
The Blu-Ray boasts the new Atmos Mix, 5.1 Mix DTS-HD MA, 5.1 Mix LPCM and the 2024 Stereo Remaster.
All of this is housed in a beautiful 80-page hardcover book featuring new liner notes from Tina, David, Chris & Jerry alongside rare and unreleased photos of the band and ephemera throughout the era.
