Rhino's Talking Heads revisitation won't end with Stop Making Sense - they'll release a new deluxe box set of the group's 1977 debut album, featuring rare outtakes and B-sides, a live show and the album remixed in Dolby Atmos and surround, as overseen by the band's keyboardist/guitarist Jerry Harrison. The super deluxe edition of Talking Heads: 77 will come in hardcover book packaging that'll feature 80 pages of rare archival photos and liner notes written by all four members of the band along with engineer Ed Stasium. Highlights in the bonus material include the band's first single, "Love ➡️ Building on Fire," acoustic versions of "Psycho Killer" and "First Week/Last Week...Carefree," and several tracks from the group's brief "pop experiment" phase, when this rather alternative record was nearly massaged into something more intentionally mainstream. (One of those versions, of closing track "Pulled Up," is released here for the first time, along with an alternate of "Psycho Killer.") Several vinyl variants will be available, including a double LP edition of the original album (on standard black or neon green, the latter exclusively at Barnes & Noble) and a 4LP version of the box set that also adds four replicas of the band's first four 7" singles.
