Talking Heads: Stop Making Sense vinyl reissue

[displayname]

I kicked myself for missing the last reissue on this. I don’t love the new artwork because the original cover is so iconic to me, but I didn’t want to hesitate and miss it again. Been waiting on this for awhile, and very excited for it to come in.

I think the EU cut of the last reissue might also still be available?

I didn’t even think of that. I saw the email for this new one, confirmed the full track list, and jumped on it.

I dig this new artwork to be honest. But get why people prefer the other one.

I think the EU one was pressed at optimal of my memory serves right

I could really go for an outer sleeve of the original artwork. That would be the perfect compromise.

It's definitely an acquired taste. I like it personally, but I'm a bit biased in that I own 2 small prints they did for Terror Vision's release of the Neon Maniacs soundtrack/score.





I have bought some frames for them, but haven't hung them up yet.



As for the EU version, it may be available in some web shops, but I noticed on Discogs that one is going for more median value than the US version. $135.87 vs $128.94

i have heard that the EU is a better sounding pressing. I did see it a few weeks ago at various shops online from the EU and shipping wasn't too crazy.

It’s very unavailable here too. I’ve been looking for months. I just found one on fnac and put and order in but I’m excepting it not to be fulfilled…

Yeah I've got the EU Optimal. It's great and the NA version is PRP which should always be avoided at all costs because they are TERRIBLE.

 

[LeeVing]

The PRP US pressing sounds great to me.

I've had more issues with Optimal over the years...much more than I've had issues with Precision.
