The music scene was evolving fast in the late 70's in New York, and this grouping is a nice time capsule of the "artier" side of things... Television and the Talking Heads (I really didn't do that on purpose --- it just occurs to me now that those two things --- bands aside --- have a symbiotic relationship...), of course, were not the only ones doing interesting stuff, and the CBGB's record hints at some of the others...
So, we have:
Talking Heads: 77 Sire SR 6036 --- cover a little "furry" (see the last pic) where you pull out the record to play. cover otherwise in great shape --- VG+, Original inner sleeve w/ band photo and lyrics, record VG++ to EX
Talking Heads / More Songs About Buildings and Food - Sire SRK 6058 - cover VG+, original inner sleeve, record VG++ to EX. If you look closely at the picture, you can see that the title line across the top is actually a clear sticker --- not all of these had it...
Talking Heads - Remain in Light - SRK 6095 --- cover EX, record EX, original inner sleeve, plus separate lyric sheet enclosed
Television - Marquee Moon - Elektra 7E-1098 - cover EX, record EX, original inner sleeve w/ lyrics
Television - Adventure - Elektra 6E-133 - cover EX, record EX, original inner sleeve w/ lyrics

Promotional Copy, according to the sticker on the front listing titles (I think it is rather funny that the "suggested cuts" on the sticker precisely matches the list of songs on the record... They apparently are suggesting you listen to the whole thing...). Cover VG++ (price sticker on it, but otherwise pretty clean, records EX, original inner sleeve (looks like a "composition book" cover). Gatefold has pics and lists of the bandmembers... There is a hole in this cover (upper left corner, about 4 inches in and an inch down...
