1984 EMI Records Lt. under exclusive licence from Talking Heads Recorded live at the Pantages Theatre, Hollywood Dec 1983 by the Record Plant Mobile. Originally mastered at Sterling Sound, New York. Re-recording for film at Can-Am and Ocean Way, Los Angeles and Right Track, New York.

While there's no debating the importance of Jonathan Demme's classic film record of Talking Heads' 1983 tour, the soundtrack released in support of it is a thornier matter. Since its release, purists have found Stop Making Sense slickly mixed and, worse yet, incomprehensive. The nine tracks included jumble and truncate the natural progression of frontman David Byrne's meticulously arranged stage show.

Talking Heads’ primetime in the late 1970's and early 1980’s may only be remembered through their tumultuous creative differences these days, but their influence on modern art rock is second to none. They focused on not only songs, but performances, something that translated extremely well to their Stop Making Sense concert film. While the Stop Making Sense film brought out a fantastically stylized performance from the New Wave masters (including the now iconic big suit of David Byrne), the live album itself is absolutely no slouch.

Stop Making Sense’ is from the concert album. This is an original copy of the rare live 1984 release Stop Making Sense from TALKING HEADS. TALKING HEADS – Stop Making Sense.

Exclusive Prime pricing. Every album up to this one seemed like a new peak for Talking Heads, but their one last hurrah in front of an audience may qualify as a final peak or at least a leveling off. Their next few albums enthusiastically embraced pop music forms of their time more than any of their previous work. Talking Heads still presents a striking contrast to the highly commercialized music that began to emerge throughout the 1980s. They continue to stand as an almost unique example of music as both artistic and commercial achievement. Stop Making Sense" came along at the right moment and preserves this important and unforgettable band at their startling and maybe insurmountable best.
