  • Crisp Pressing, Tiny Hole

    5 out of 5 stars
    paebqq21January 5, 2026United StatesπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    Awesome pressing, sounds really crisp and punchy with no surface noise, and the record is perfectly flat and flawless. Only issue is the hole was a tad too small but it still fits, just barely.

    Initial song keeps jumping throughout, even post cleaning πŸ‘ŽπŸ» and indeed my record player is adjusted correctly

  • Pristine Sound Quality

    5 out of 5 stars
    TeqZehSudfjHedoqpyDecember 27, 2025United StatesπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    Mine is pristine, smooth, bright and lively. No skips, crackles or pops detected. I respect others' experiences, but I didn't encounter those problems with this pressing. Excellent separation and sharp imaging. Fluance RT85, Onkyo/Schitt Mani, ELAC Uni-Fi 2.0 UB52-BK

  • Colored Vinyl Gem

    Fantastic record, particularly for the colored vinyl. It's a definite five stars from me.

  • Pro-ject Debut Skates Smooth

    5 out of 5 stars
    Siyqaiy.XeznDecember 7, 2025United StatesπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    Man, this thing used to skate like crazy with my old Audio-Technica. But now I've got a Pro-ject Debut, and it's smooth sailing, even when I lighten up the stylus from the suggested 1.8g.

About Talking Heads

Talking Heads, formed in the pulsating heart of New York City in 1975, were a groundbreaking band that left an indelible mark on the music scene. Comprised of the distinctive David Byrne on vocals and guitar, Chris Frantz on drums, Tina Weymouth on bass, and Jerry Harrison on keyboards and guitar, Talking Heads pioneered new wave music by seamlessly blending elements of punk, art rock, funk, and world music. Their unique sound was matched by an equally distinctive stage presence, with Byrne's anxious yet clean-cut image becoming iconic. With hits like "Psycho Killer," "Once in a Lifetime," and "Burning Down the House," Talking Heads not only defined the sound of the '80s but also influenced countless artists across various genres. Their innovative approach to music and performance made them one of the most critically acclaimed and enduringly popular bands of their era.
