$64.98 CD

"this four-disc best-of nails it" -- SPIN

Spanning 1976-1992, this is the first-ever Talking Heads box. With over 50 tracks on three CDs, this uniquely packaged set features hits and album tracks, as well as previously unreleased rarities, outtakes, and alternate versions. Also includes a DVD with the out-of-print video compilation Storytelling Giant and three previously unreleased bonus clips. An 80-page booklet features a band history written by all four founding members.  

Formed in New York in the mid-'70s by David Byrne, Chris Franz, Tina Weymouth, and ex-Modern Lover Jerry Harrison, Talking Heads transcended their humble CBGB beginnings to become one of the most adventurous and influential bands of all time. Their visionary, polyrhythmic stew combined funk and punk with African beats, avant-garde minimalism, and pure pop. From their 1977 debut to their Brian Eno-produced classics to their 1988 swan song, Naked, Talking Heads consistently pushed creative boundaries while delivering smart radio hits like "Once In A Lifetime," "Burning Down The House," and "Wild Wild Life." In 2002 the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
