Talking Heads Set Fear of Music Super Deluxe Edition

A new super-deluxe edition of Talking Heads‘ seminal third album Fear of Music is on the way. Due out November 13 on Rhino, the 3xCD set compiles a fresh remaster of the 1979 record, a number of alternate track versions and studio outtakes, and previously-unreleased recordings of two full concerts.

An accompanying Blu-Ray also boasts footage from the Talking Heads’ appearance on BBC’s music show Old Grey Whistle Test. Check out an unearthed performance of the band’s “Life During Wartime” from a 1979 episode below.

The shows featured on Fear of Music (Super-Deluxe Edition) both took place in 1979 shortly after the album’s release: the first at Boston’s Berklee Performing Arts Center, and the second at the Capitol Theater in Passaic, New Jersey.

In addition to the new material, the physical box set comes with a 60-page photo book with liner notes by Will Hermes, author of Love Goes to Buildings on Fire: Five Years in New York That Changed Music Forever.

The super-deluxe will launch in tandem with a new dedicated Talking Heads channel on SiriusXM Radio. The super-deluxe marks the second Talking Heads archival release from Rhino this year.

Back in March, the label shared the collection Tentative Decisions: Demos & Live, which compiled early live recordings and demos the New York art punks recorded between 1975 and 1977.
