TALKING HEADS Remain In Light 1980 UK SIRE MINT-

COMPLETE w/INNER & LYRIC INSERT - SUPERB SOUND QUALITY

TALKING HEADS
Remain In Light

UK SIRE (SRK 6095) FIRST PRESSING (October 1980) OF TALKING HEADS' FOURTH LP "Remain In Light"

This is one record from a small collection of punk/post punk albums I will be listing over the coming days (the last three today).
All are from the same owner who played them once to tape then carefully stored them away where they have remained untouched ever since.
All are original issues and many still retain their original shop shrink-wrapping.
This is a fantastic collection - all essentially as-new and will be listed as MINT(-) rather than MINT as they have been played (albeit once)
All have been play-checked and sound flawless with no imperfections of any kind

VINYL: MINT- (a few pressing blemishes to the surfaces - common with this first issue - of no audible significance - the sound quality is stunning)
SLEEVE: MINT-
INNER SLEEVE: MINT-
INSERT: MINT-

PRESSED WITH THE FIRST ISSUE YELLOW SIRE LABELS
MATRIX: SRK+6095+A (stamped 'STRAWBERRY') / SRK+6095+B (stamped 'STRAWBERRY')
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL SLEEVE "Printed and Made in England" WITH A LIGHT GLOSSY FINISH (still in original shop shrink-wrap)
COMPLETE WITH BOTH THE ORIGINAL CARD INNER SLEEVE AND LYRIC INSERT

The musical transition that seemed to have just begun with Fear of Music came to fruition on Talking Heads' fourth album, Remain in Light.
"I Zimbra" and "Life During Wartime" from the earlier album served as the blueprints for a disc on which the group explored African polyrhythms on a series of driving groove tracks, over which David Byrne chanted and sang his typically disconnected lyrics.
Remain in Light had more words than any previous Heads record, but they counted for less than ever in the sweep of the music and the complex soundscapes conjured by producer Brian Eno
