Talking Heads – More Songs About Buildings And Food
Price range: £42.99 through £159.99
Talking Heads
Choosing former Roxy Music member and David Bowie collaborator Brian Eno to produce them, Talking Heads expanded their sound greatly for their second album released in 1978. More Songs About Buildings And Food stands amongst the Talking Heads’ best work. The influence of producer Brian Eno stands out as he helped propel the band forwards into increasingly innovative territory. The entire album, even the minor hit, an Eno-treated cover version of Al Green’s “Take Me To The River,” sounds amazingly fresh some thirty-six years later. This Super Deluxe Edition available on 3CD plus BluRay, 4LP, and 2LP, expands upon the original album with a bonus album featuring rare and previously unreleased studio outtakes as well as a previously unreleased in full complete show from the More Songs… tour recorded in October 1978 at Entermedia Theatre in New York City. The CD format includes a blu-ray disc featuring Dolby Atmos, 5.1 and Hi-Res Stereo Mixes as well as two previously unreleased in full live performances captured on video back in 1978.
