The best part about it is that the CD reissue also comes with the album Sand In The Vaseline, so if you have $40 to spend on your perma-blues-boner friend, it will make his heart beat a little faster to hear them both.
Bizud:

Sounds like Remain in Light hits the top spot. *goes to check it out*
LoveandaMolotovCocktail:
I was listening to Remain In Light on my record player today. It probably is their best release.

--- Quote from: tommydski ---the best album to get is the newly extended 'the name of this band is talking heads' double lp. it's a live album that spans the group's first four albums (which were their finest by far) and has performances from talking heads as a quartet which are super tight. more importantly, it has the first line-up of the extended heads (which is superior to the line-up on 'stop making sense') which featured guitarist extraodinaire adrian belew of frank zappa, david bowie and king crimson fame. his vast palette of sounds adds texture to the 'eno era' material which would be lost on later live documents.

Amen.
The new "The Name..." is excellent. The stuff on this double-album doesn't always sound like a live album--I'm pretty sure all of the 1977-78 stuff is recorded live in a studio, and all of the tracks have been remastered.
It's definitely well worth getting. I prefer the earliest Talking Heads material myself (they do a great version of "A Clean Break" on this), but I also enjoy the sounds of the extended line-up, too. I will concede, however, that after this era, they started to suck.
