This Ain’t No Foolin’ Around: Talking Heads’ Expanded ‘Stop Making Sense’ Comes to CD/Blu-ray with Atmos Mix

June 5, 2024 by Mike Duquette | 3 Comments

For good reason, the Talking Heads have gotten a lot of mileage out of their triumphant restoration of the live concert film Stop Making Sense. Brilliantly remastered and reissued in theaters last year by A24 – an event that got the group to reunite for multiple interviews to promote it, including just last night at the Pantages Theater in Los Angeles, where the film was shot – the audio was released on vinyl and digital by Rhino Records. (A24 also put out a luxe Blu-ray and 4K version of the film, as well…

Now, Jonathan Demme’s classic feature is finally getting an upgraded home release this spring. The new set presents the film on Blu-ray Disc or 4K Ultra HD,…

What a Day That Was: Talking Heads’ ‘Stop Making Sense’ Expanded for Vinyl, Film Reissue

March 17, 2023 by Mike Duquette | 11 Comments

Talking Heads Stop Making Sense Deluxe 2LP

Why Stop Making Sense? Why a movie? Why tour? Why do the musicians come out gradually? What will the band do next? Whe do the odd instruments come from? Are live concerts better or worse than records? Why no “special effects” in the movie? Why a big suit? Why was a digital system used for the sound? Talking Heads’ now-legendary live project Stop Making Sense asked a lot of questions of the listener when it was released in 1984. Here’s another one: why reissue the album? That one’s easy to answer: the film is…
