Making flippy floppy



Talking Heads were one of the first bands I found through record hunting. Partially because all of their cover art was so unique, but mostly because you could dig up their whole discography in one afternoon at the flea market. I think you can still find a dollar copy of Speaking in Tongues on any given sunday.

Rhino/Wea recently released a 30th anniversary 8 disc set called "Talking Heads Brick". It's essentially all 8 of their albums, each disc containing rare demos and out take tracks. An early version of Once In A Lifetime called Right Start almost justifies the Steep price tag alone. Highly recommended.
