Product Details

Before Brian Eno, before Stop Making Sense, before the big suit, there was a cassette recorder in a Providence apartment and three art school kids figuring out what they were. These newly surfaced recordings catch Talking Heads at their most unguarded, when "Psycho Killer" was still just an idea and the band's singular nervous-system tension was finding its shape for the first time.

TALKING HEADS - TENTATIVE DECISIONS: DEMOS & LIVE - Talking Heads members Chris Frantz and David Byrne met as students at Rhode Island School of Design, and made music in a college band called The Artistics. In spring semester 1974, the band gathered in Frantz's Benefit Street apartment to record a demo tape. The cassette featured tracks soon to be classics in The Talking Heads discography: "Warning Sign" and "Psycho Killer." This 3CD collection includes this newly discovered material alongside additional demo and live tracks recorded by the original trio lineup of the band (Bassist Tina Weymouth alongside Frantz and Byrne) in 1975 and 1976 alongside the first official release of the band's demo session for CBS/Columbia Records in 1975 as well as rare live recordings of the original trio lineup in 1976 and 1977.
