TALKING HEADS: SPEAKING IN TONGUES 1983 LP SIRE 1-23771
LIMITED EDITION: ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG PACKAGING/COVER, COLORED / CLEAR VINYL
FACTORY SEALED, WITH ORIGINAL HYPE STICKER

Last of the lot: This is a factory-sealed copy of the Robert Rauschenberg limited edition of the 1983 Talking Heads album, SPEAKING IN TONGUES. This never-opened package has the album's rare hype sticker on the front, adjacent to the original price tag.

The packaging, designed by Rauschenberg, is a transparent plastic case with artwork and credits, with photographic collages printed on three transparent twelve-inch circular disks: one cyan, one yellow, one magenta. When the front disk rotates, different images in the collages move in and out of phase with one another.

As with all copies of this title, the plastic case has yellowed with time. In full disclosure, the plastic wrapping has four small tears along the corners, shown in photos 5 through 8. 

About shipping charges: Album will be carefully custom-packaged and shipped fully insured via USPS Priority Mail, with signature confirmation for added security. Sorry, this item ships only within the United States.
