Description

  • Talking Heads released their third studio album "Fear Of Music" in August 1979 on Sire Records. It was produced by Brian Eno and special guests included Robert Fripp and actor Gene Wilder who played congas on the hit single "Life During Wartime." It was a Top 20 album and made many critics "Best Of" lists. 

  • This Promo copy of (SRK 6076) is from the First Pressing and is in excellent condition. The embossed cover shows only minimal wear and is easily VG+. Please see the pictures. The disc test plays cleanly and is also VG+ which is as high as I go on vintage vinyl. It was mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound in NYC and this copy was pressed at the Capitol Records plant in Los Angeles. The Side One dead wax is etched SRK-1-6076-LW3• •• ✲.  Sterling is stamped only on Side 2. 

  • In addition to its original packaging, this album will come with a high quality Anti-Static Round Bottom Inner Sleeve to hold the vinyl disc and a sturdy 3 mil. polyethylene Archival Quality Outer Sleeve.  It will ship securely in the special corrugated Album Mailer seen in the last picture. 

  • This vintage 12" vinyl album has been sitting upright on a shelf in climate controlled storage for the past 41 years. It has not been played in decades other than a quick test spin for this sale which found no skips or obvious flaws. Like all used records it should be cleaned and wiped with an anti-static brush to minimize the occasional pops that are part of playing vinyl albums. Buyers should note that this is a well-cared for but used record and it will have some minor imperfections.
