Talking Heads are revisiting their debut album, Talking Heads: 77, with a brand new box set coming Nov 8.
Talking Heads: 77 (Super Deluxe Edition) will be made up of four LPs, one of which is a remaster of the original album. There will also be an LP of unreleased demos and outtakes, along with a two-LP live album, Live at CBGB, New York, NY, Oct. 10, 1977, a recording of their last concert at the famed New York club.
The live album, only available in the box set, will feature 13 previously unreleased live recordings. The rarities include alternate takes, acoustic versions and more, like “Psycho Killer (Acoustic Version),” featuring the late cellist Arthur Russell, which is available now via digital outlets.
The set also includes four 7-inch singles, an 80-page hardcover book with never-before-seen photos and more, and liner notes written by the members of Talking Heads – David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz and Jerry Harrison – as well as recording engineer Ed Stasium.
In addition to the super deluxe edition, the reissue will be released digitally, on two-LP standard black vinyl, two-LP green vinyl at Barnes & Noble and as a three-CD/Blu-ray set, with the Blu-ray featuring new high-quality mixes of the album.
Talking Heads: 77 (Super Deluxe Edition) is available for preorder now.
