Description

Up for auction here is the TALKING HEADS SPEAKING IN TONGUES. This cover is larger than typical cover size and consists of a plastic clamshell cover with three movable printed plastic discs. Supposedly the colored discs can be aligned to produce a full color image but I have never been able to do it. It is said that 50,000 copies of this cover were produced.Robert Rauschenberg, who recently passed, was a major figure in the art world from the early sixties on. Primarily grouped with the "Pop" art movement his work usually defied categories and description. David Byrne approached him after viewing one of his New York shows to do a cover for this album. Rauschenberg, never being conventional, decided to "re-invent" the concept of an album cover. There has never been another one like this. The LP cover has never been opened so, of course, the LP has never been played . I have seen "buy it nows" on Ebay for as high as $300.00(good luck!). Getting rid of all my vinyl as my 16 year old son wants a car! If you have any questions, please e-mail before bidding. Please check out my other auctions for more vintage vinyl. Thanks for looking!
