Talking Heads - STOP MAKING SENSE is a 1984 LP release on the Sire label # 9 25186-1.  
The nine tracks included jumble and truncate the natural progression of frontman David Byrne's meticulously arranged stage show. Stop Making Sense is, by any account, an exemplary snapshot of a band at the height of its powers. Byrne is in fine voice here: Never before had he sounded warmer or more approachable, as evidenced by his soaring rendition of "Once in a Lifetime." Though almost half the album focuses on Speaking in Tongues material, the band makes room for one of Byrne's Catherine Wheel tunes (the hard-driving, elliptical "What a Day That Was") as well as up-tempo versions of "Pyscho Killer" and "Take Me to the River." If anything, Stop Making Sense's emphasis on keyboards and rhythm is its greatest asset. Stop Making Sense proves to be an excellent primer.
The album includes the original picture/credit inner sleeve, which has splits.  The jacket shows very light wear & light staining on the front & back and wear on the corners, top & bottom edges.  The record is in VG+ condition.
