Following the band’s massive year, Rhino will release their seminal live performance recorded for WCOZ-FM in 1977 on Record Store Day 2024. While parts of the show appeared on the band’s 1983 live album, The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads, and its subsequent 2004 reissue, this marks the first time ever that the entire 14 song concert will be available.
The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads is available as a two LP collection. Cut at 45rpm and featuring fourteen tracks recorded at Northern Studios on November 17, 1977, this blistering performances includes “Psycho Killer”, “Pulled Up”, “Uh-Oh, Love Comes to Town”, “A Clean Break (Let’s Work)” and more.
