Formed in NYC in the mid-"70s by David Byrne, Chris Franz, Tina Weymouth, & ex-Modern Lover Jerry Harrison, Talking Heads soared out of their humble CBGB"s beginnings to become Rock & Roll Hall of Famers & one of the most adventurous & influential bands ever. The onstage energy that propelled their rise to fame was documented in the 1982 double-LP set THE NAME OF THIS BAND IS TALKING HEADS, now available on CD for the first time. Following them through several early evolutions from "77-"81, this live gem - a 1982 Top 40 Billboard Album- is a riveting portrait of a stellar band on the rise. For its CD debut it"s been expanded with over 30 minutes of rare & mostly previously unreleased bonus material.
