The Talking Heads Remain In Light 180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE LIMITED EDITION LP

Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 129/500! 

1980's 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 (1988's 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".

High Quality 180g Remastered Vinyl  from Warner Brothers! Just look for the Rhino Label!!!
"David Byrne said that Remain in Light "was done in bits and pieces, one instrument at a time." The result was a New Wave masterpiece powered by contradiction, the combined thrust of a P-Funk dance party, the ancient-to-the-future rhythm hypnosis of Nigerian funkmaster Fela Kuti and the studied adventurousness of the album's producer and Heads co-conspirator, Brian Eno. Remain in Light marked Talking Heads' transformation from avatars of the punk avant-garde to polyrhythmic magicians with hit-single appeal. Just try not dancing to "Once in a Lifetime." - rollingstone

Classic Talking Heads Platinum Album Back On Vinyl! 

In 2011, Ranked #54 on Rolling Stone's 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 group's fifth studio album, released in 1983, proved to become their commercial breakthrough producing their first American Top 10 single, "Burning Down The House".

"The band's playful side indeed shines through on the album's 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 band's 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 title's 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), it's 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 that's as close to Television's Marquee Moon as it is to Michael Jackson's Thriller, Grand Master Flash's "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

FREE BONUS - TRUE STORIES - ORIGINAL OPEN COPY OUT OF PRINT EDITION COLLECTORS ORIGINAL LABEL 1986 SIRE RECORDS RELEASE - NOTE ONLY TITLE NOT 180 GRAM.

This album, made in conjunction with the filming of David Byrnes' underrated film True Stories, is absolutely amazing from start to finish. This may not be the Talking Heads' best album, but it doesn't fall short by much, and it definitely features a few of the band's most touching and emotionally moving songs. It is both unfortunate and bewildering that this album is looked at as something of a negative chapter in the band's history. A medley group of performers (including John Goodman) sang these songs in the film True Stories, and I understand that David Byrne really wanted to release a soundtrack of the movie player's recordings but was talked into recording the songs himself alongside his then-fracturing Talking Heads band members.

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. I'm 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 aren't really known for songs of a soft, tender nature, but Dream Operator is one of the most beautiful songs I've 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.

Mymusicfix has been told we have the best collection of Audiophile Vinyl and Gold CDs.
