Talking Heads are revisiting their debut album, Talking Heads: 77, with a brand new box set coming Nov 8.
Talking Heads: 77 (Super Deluxe Edition) will be made up of four LPs, one of which is a remaster of the original album. There will also be an LP of unreleased demos and outtakes, along with a two-LP live album, Live at CBGB, New York, NY, Oct. 10, 1977, a recording of their last concert at the famed New York club.

The set also includes four 7-inch singles, an 80-page hardcover book with never-before-seen photos and more, and liner notes written by the members of Talking Heads – David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz and Jerry Harrison – as well as recording engineer Ed Stasium.
