Rare sealed archival copy of Speaking in Tongues by Talking Heads limited art edition multiple by Robert Rauschenberg.
from Record Mecca website:
In 1983, legendary artist Robert Rauschenberg designed the album cover for Talking Heads’ fifth studio album, Speaking in Tongues.
Rauschenberg’s cover, with three spinning plastic discs and a clear
vinyl LP, all packed in a vacu-form clamshell, was too costly for
regular copies of the album; so the album was issued with a conventional
(David Byrne designed) cover and a limited edition Rauschenberg
version. In 1984 Rauschenberg won a well deserved Best Album Cover
Grammy Award for his cover.
Four small tears in shrink, one 3/4" left bottom edge, one 3/4" on right bottom edge, 1/2" on top edge and 1/4" front near bottom, and some pinholes along edges. General yellowing due to age found on all copies.
A legendary item in both the art and music worlds!
Will carefully packed and insured.
