More Songs About Buildings And Food (Reissue) (Vinyl 4LP)

It seems everybody's talking about Talking Heads these days, so what more opportune time than now to announce this expansive reissue of the band's 1978 sophomore album More Songs About Buildings And Food? Recorded in the Bahamas under the watchful eye of ubiquitous late 70s producer Brian Eno, the album saw the band shimmying closer to their best and most dancefloor friendly selves. Collectors will be in seventh heaven with the 4LP reissue featuring multiple alternate versions alongside a 1978 live album, with a three-disc CD and Blu-Ray set that captures not one, but two live shows from the era. Wow-wee! - Flying Out

The Talking Heads recorded their second album, More Songs About Buildings and Food, in March 1978 at Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas. For a band whose roots and soul were firmly planted in Manhattan, such a tropical location could have been disorienting. However, the addition of Brian Eno—former Roxy Music keyboardist and a pioneer of ambient music—as co-producer helped sharpen the band's sound rather than dilute it.
