PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER).  OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.


Instant collection!  INCREDIBLE lot of original first pressings of EVERY Talking Heads studio album on vinyl!
1) Remain In Light - MEGA RARE original Greg Calbi mastered Specialty first pressing from October, 1980 on Sire with glossy full color printed inner sleeve and original double-sided insert sheet with complete lyrics!!!  LP is VG+/VG++ with a few light paper scuffs.  Cover is VG/VG+ with a small 1" seam (NOT a split) at the bottom middle.
2) Naked - RARE original Jack Skinner mastered Specialty first pressing from March 15, 1988 on Fly/Sire with UNIPAK cover that loads on the inside and printed inner sleeve with complete lyrics!!!  LP is a beautiful VG++ with a few barely visible paper scuffs.  Cover is a nice VG+ with some light sun bleaching on the spine.
3) Little Creatures - RARE original Jack Skinner mastered Specialty first pressing from June 10, 1985 on Sire with glossy full color printed inner sleeve with complete lyrics!!!  LP is VG+ with a few light paper scuffs on side 1.  Cover is VG/VG+ with a small split on the spine near the  top and some light ring.
4) More Songs About Buildings And Food - WILDLY RARE original Joe Gastwirt mastered Jacksonville first pressing on Sire from July, 1978 with glossy black on white printed inner sleeve with complete lyrics!!!  LP side 1 is VG+ with a few light scuffs and side 2 is VG++ with even fewer and lighter scuffs.  Cover is VG with a small name in the top right hand corner on the thin grey border and some ring.
5) Talking Heads: 77 - CRAZY RARE original Joe Gastwirt mastered first pressing on Sire from September, 1977 with printed inner sleeve with complete lyrics!!!  LP side 1 is a nice VG with a few light scuffs and side 2 is VG+ with even fewer and lighter scuffs.  Cover is just barely VG with some moisture waviness on the rear.
6) True Stories - RARE original Jack Skinner mastered Specialty first pressing on Sire from August 18, 1986 with rigid glossy full color printed inner sleeve!!!  LP is easily VG+, close to VG++, with a few light scuffs.  Cover is VG+ with a tiny seam at the top middle.
7) Fear Of Music - VERY RARE original Creg Calbi mastered Jacksonville first pressing from August, 1979 on Sire with embossed cover and glossy printed inner sleeve with complete lyrics!!!  LP is VG+ with a few light paper scuffs.  Cover is VG+ as well with some light edge wear.
8) Speaking In Tongues - MEGA RARE original Ted Jensen mastered Specialty first pressing on Sire from June, 1983 with printed inner sleeve with complete lyrics!!!  LP side A is VG+ with a few light paper scuffs and side B is a beautiful VG++/NM-.  Cover is VG+ with small initials in the top right hand corner on the front and a small bottom right hand corner promo notch.  Every Talking Heads album is essential but there's something about the feel of this album that has always set it apart as my absolute favorite.  It may be the irresistibly jittery paranoia of Burning Down The House (worth 100 times the price of admission on its own merit), the shambolic, white boy funk of Swamp or the maddeningly catchy electro-boogie of Girlfriend Is Better but there's honestly not a bad song on the album.  Come to think of it, EVERYTHING about this album is what makes it my favorite.  Every fan of music in general NEEDS this LP.
Buying every record in this collection individually would cost $44.00 in shipping ALONE so bid hard and don't sleep Heads heads.
