Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense (Deluxe Edition)

Stop Making Sense, the greatest concert film of all time, is available again on this deluxe double vinyl set. Highlights include "Psycho Killer", "Burning Down the House", "This Must Be The Place", "Girlfriend Is Better" and "Heaven". Originally re-released in 2023, this 2LP edition features the complete concert, including previously unreleased tracks “Cities” and “Big Business / I Zimbra”.

The inspiration for Stop Making Sense came when director Jonathan Demme saw Talking Heads perform during the band’s 1983 tour for Speaking in Tongues. Afterward, he approached them with the idea of making the show into a concert film. They agreed and worked together over the next few months to finalize the details. Ultimately, Demme filmed three shows at Hollywood’s Pantages Theater in December 1983 to create Stop Making Sense.

Heavyweight double vinyl produced by Rhino Records in 2024. Include faithful reproduction of the original booklet from the 1984 limited edition pressing and additional pages with never seen before photos. It also features brand new notes written by Chris, David, Jerry and Tina.
