TALKING HEADS Vinyl & CDs

Review: This album captures a legendary live performance by David Berne's marvellous Talking Heads and exhibits the band's famously lively stage presence during their 1978 tour. This limited release offers a snapshot of the band's early electrifying sound right before they reached international stardom. The recording is taken from a performance in Chicago and highlights their signature and singular blend of punk, new wave and funk with Byrne's unique vocals and the band's tight rhythms leading the charge. A thrilling document of Talking Heads' formative years, Chicago Killers 78 is one of many superb records from this artful outfit.
