      I can just chime in to the positive reviews here. Recording with great dymanics and SQ. The pressing is excellent, the presentation very good. Supplied with polylined inner sleeves as well. The gig is fantastic and it feels so close that you could think the band is standing in the room. 6-Star!

        I’ve been a Talking Heads fan since 1980. This record is exceptional. It’s a window into the raw, fresh new band, clearly exhibiting the greatness that was to come. Production and pressing quality is outstanding. Best £50 I ever spent!!

          Clean pressing. Clear pressing. Detailed and quiet. Very happy with it.
          You have to like the Talking Heads, then you'll appreciate it even more.

            Well well well, GZ can press a decent record.
            Consider me stunned.

              One of the best pressings you'll ever hear. What a sound!

                This record just might be one of the best sounding in my humble collection. Even with the positive reviews I’ve read, it exceeds expectations. The vocals are nuanced, bass is tight and punchy, nice separation, and an authentic sound.

                  Missed it at my store in the US but bought this Europe version as, even with the increased shipping, is selling less than the US version on this site. Worth it.

                    Those calling this the best RSD pickup of '24 aren't overhyping this album. It's an incredible live recording. Really glad that I hunted down a copy after seeing reviews.

                      Outstanding album. Everything about this one is damn near perfect. Dead quiet, really balanced. The drums snap the vocals sit well in the mix. Just wow all around. 45 was a good choice.
