Talking Heads; Speaking In Tongues Vinyl

[wingnut4772]

I would just like to say that this album rocks! Totally blows the cd away. If you can find one I highly recommend it.

PM'd my addy!!!

I’ve got More Songs About Buildings and Food on vinyl and remember it sounding pretty good. I don't have any CD's to compare them too.

I got it from the recent vinyl sales that have been going on here. I think from Russman...?If you see this one again , grab it. It's just an excellent album all around. Talking Heads were brilliant.

I only have one Talking Heads LP and I can't seem to find others that are decent!!!I'll bring my collection to the next meet. I'm pretty sure I have them all, but may have skipped True Stories, their next-to-last.

One of the very few times I rerouted in mid-drive to my favorite "record store" (remember those?) was when "Once in a Lifetime" came on the car radio almost three decades ago. Walked in knowing neither the name of the group nor the song title, but luckily the owner knew who was repeating, "Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was." I walked out with their Remain in Light (still my favorite LP of theirs), but soon began buying every prior release and continued to do so until their demise...

Their first, Talking Heads: 77, was only "OK" sounding, but their next, More Songs About Buildings and Food, was a big step up SQ-wise... and music-wise as well, e.g., "Take Me to the River". And the SQ continued to improve with every subsequest release. IMO, the best sounding release of all though was their second live-concert recording, Stop Making Sense. Pretty remarkable...

And, if you can find a copy of the Stop Making Sense DVD, grab it. It's a visual treat as well as an aural one...

Thanks for the info, it is very helpful. My son bought me the 180 gm release of "Remain in the Light" for Christmas and the SQ is great.

I have the VHS and CD copy of Stop Making Sense. The CD SQ is great too. I want the DVD SMS.

Not vinyl (CD only) but Popular Favorites 1976-1992: Sand in the Vaseline is a very good compilation album. Belive it or not Joe, there are other formats besides vinyl. ;)

LOL!!! I have this set Steve and everytime you mention it I say, "I have this set Steve and it's awesome"

Whenever someone comes to my home for the first time and I get done showing off the vinyl rig, I then play cuts from Sand in the Vas as well as ELO "Out of the World" CD box set.

I have a couple of their LP's, all sound great. The best one has green heads or something like that on the cover. (I forget the name of it).

The NEXT time I recommend it to you, just act like you've never heard it before. :o

Remain in the Light gets my vote for their best album. As for a digital comparison, the Stop Making Sense HDCD is my best sounding CD (at least to my ears).

I can imagine because the plain old redbook CD sounds very, very good.

I think the uber-high SQ is attributable to David Burns' refectionist streak... One of several of his personality traits contributing to the break up of the band.

The 180 gm of this is spectacular.
