Talking Heads / David Byrne & Brian Eno - 6 x LPs...

An excellent 6-LP collection centred around Talking Heads and the groundbreaking creative partnership between David Byrne and Brian Eno, covering one of the most influential periods of late-1970s and early-1980s New Wave, Art Rock and Post-Punk. The collection includes five Talking Heads albums, together with Brian Eno & David Byrne's landmark experimental album My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. Particularly interesting is the variety of European pressings from Portugal, Germany and Italy, including contemporary pressings from the original release years as well as two Italian Sire “Best Buy Series” editions. Several of the records retain their original printed inner sleeves and/or inserts, as shown in the photographs. 1.

A landmark experimental recording created during the period of Byrne and Eno's intense collaboration around Fear of Music and Remain in Light.

Please examine the numerous photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the condition description. Importantly, original inserts and printed inner sleeves are still present where shown in the photographs, adding to the completeness and collectability of the set. A very appealing collection documenting the extraordinary creative development of Talking Heads and the David Byrne/Brian Eno collaboration between 1979 and 1983, with European editions from Italy, Portugal and Germany. The records will be carefully and professionally packed, with the vinyl protected separately from the outer sleeves where appropriate, to ensure safe transport. A strong collector's lot containing six essential Art Rock / New Wave / Post-Punk LPs from one of the most innovative periods in modern popular music.
