Home / Punk & New Wave / Talking Heads: 77
A nervy, arty debut of angular new wave and 'Psycho Killer'. Quirky and tuneful. A great beginning. Released in 1977, it's an early landmark for Talking Heads.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
