STILL SEALED VINYL LP!!!! TALKING HEADS "TALKING HEADS: 77." ORIGINAL SIRE RECORDS PRESS, NOT THE 2009 RHINO PRESS!! DON'T SLEEP ON THIS VERY RARE TALKING HEADS SEALED LP!! ULTRA LOW STARTING BID!!!!!!
Though they were the most highly touted new wave band to emerge from the CBGB's scene in New York, it was not clear at first whether Talking Heads' Lower East Side art rock approach could make the subway ride to the midtown pop mainstream successfully. The leadoff track of the debut album, Talking Heads: 77, "Uh-Oh, Love Comes to Town," was a pop song that emphasized the group's unlikely roots in late-'60s bubblegum, Motown, and Caribbean music. But the "Uh-Oh" gave away the group's game early, with its nervous, disconnected lyrics and David Byrne's strained voice. All pretenses of normality were abandoned by the second track, as Talking Heads finally started to sound on record the way they did downtown: the staggered rhythms and sudden tempo changes, the odd guitar tunings and rhythmic, single-note patterns, the non-rhyming, non-linear lyrics that came across like odd remarks overheard from a psychiatrist's couch, and that voice, singing above its normal range, its falsetto leaps and strangled cries resembling a madman trying desperately to sound normal. Talking Heads threw you off balance, but grabbed your attention with a sound that seemed alternately threatening and goofy.

GOLDMINE GRADING:
* M =MINT-A MINT RECORD SHOULD APPEAR TO HAVE JUST LEFT THE MANUFACTURER WITHOUT ANY HANDLING.
* NM = NEAR MINT- A RECORD THAT IS OTHERWISE MINT BUT HAS ONE OR TWO TINY, INCONSEQUENTIAL FLAWS THAT DO NOT AFFECT THE PLAY IS NEAR MINT. COVERS SHOULD
STILL BE CLOSE TO PERFECT WITH MINOR SIGNS OF WEAR OR AGE JUST BECOMING EVIDENT.
* VG+ =VERY GOOD PLUS- A RECORD THAT HAS BEEN HANDLED AND PLAYED EITHER INFREQUENTLY OR VERY CAREFULLY. ON A DISC, THIS COULD MEAN THAT THERE ARE LIGHT
PAPER SCUFFS FROM SLIDING IT IN AND OUT OF A SLEEVE, OR THE VINYL MAY HAVE LOST SOME, BUT NOT ALL, OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTER. ON COVERS, SOME WEAR FROM STORAGE
IS ACCEPTABLE, ESPECIALLY LIGHT WEAR THAT DOES NOT AFFECT THE BEAUTY OF THE ARTWORK.
* VG = VERY GOOD- A VERY GOOD RECORD WILL DISPLAY VISIBLE SIGNS OF HANDLING AND PLAYING, SUCH AS LOSS OF VINYL LUSTER, LIGHT SURFACE SCRATCHES, GROOVE WEAR,
AND SPINDLE TRAILS FROM COUNTLESS SPINS ON THE TURNTABLE. A VG RECORD LOOKS LIKE IT WILL HAVE SOME SURFACE NOISE WHEN IT IS PLAYED, ALTHOUGH ANY SUCH
NOISE SHOULD NOT OVERWHELM THE MUSICAL EXPERIENCE. LIKE A DISC, USUALLY A COVER IS VG WHEN A VARIETY OF PROBLEMS ARE EVIDENT: RING WEAR, SEAM SPLITS, BENT
CORNERS, LOSS OF GLOSS, STAINS, ETC.
* G = GOOD- GOOD WILL MEAN THAT THE RECORD IS WELL-PLAYED WITH ANY NUMBER OF DEFECTS THAT COLLECTORS NORMALLY SHY AWAY FROM, SUCH AS AN ALMOST
COMPLETE LOSS OF SURFACE SHEEN, AGGRAVATING SURFACE NOISE, ETC., BUT WHICH WILL ALLOW THE PURCHASER TO STILL ENJOY LISTENING TO IT. A GOOD COVER HAS SEEN
CONSIDERABLE HANDLING OVER THE COURSE OF YEARS AND DISPLAYS THE OBVIOUS SIGNS: RING WEAR ON THE COVER, SOME SEAM SPLITTING, PARTICULARLY ALONG THE
BOTTOM; CORNERS MAY BE DOG-EARED TO A LIGHT DEGREE; AN OWNER MAY HAVE WRITTEN HIS OR HER NAME SOMEWHERE; ETC.
* SS = STILL SEALED
* SW = SHOP WORN
