Talking Heads announces ’77 Super Deluxe Edition’

The new version features a remaster of the original album

Returning to where it all began, Talking Heads proudly presents a new and extensive version of the band’s 77 album. Talking Heads: 77 (Super Deluxe Edition) charts the band’s development from the original trio of David Byrne, Chris Frantz, and Tina Weymouth into the classic four-person lineup with the addition of former Modern Lover member Jerry Harrison.

Spread across nearly three hours of material, this Super Deluxe Edition features a new remaster of the original album.

The expanded album also features a collection of rarities encompassing outtakes and previously unreleased alternate versions, including the never-before-heard “Psycho Killer (Alternate Version)” and “Pulled Up (Alternate “Pop” Version).”

The Super Deluxe Edition offers a previously unreleased recording of the band’s final show at CBGB’s in New York City on October 10, 1977.

The Blu-ray boasts the new Atmos Mix, 5.1 Mix DTS-HD MA, 5.1 Mix LPCM, and the 2024 Stereo Remaster.

The package is housed in a beautiful 80-page hardcover book featuring new liner notes from Tina, David, Chris & Jerry alongside rare and unreleased photos of the band and ephemera throughout the era.

The Super Deluxe Vinyl Edition also contains reproductions of the four Sire Records seven-inch singles from the original album, including “Love → Building on Fire / New Feeling,” “Uh-Oh, Love Comes To Town / I Wish You Didn’t Say That,” “Psycho Killer / Psycho Killer (Acoustic),” and “Pulled Up / Don’t Worry About The Government.” All feature picture sleeves.
