"Remain in Light" and "Talking Heads 77" will be re-released on cd in Japan on July 24th. As with previous Japanese re-releases, these albums will be available in limited quantities only. Previous releases of "Speaking in Tongues" and "Remain in Light" both sold out in a few days after release... So if you want these for your collection, pre-ordering is a good idea. There are no bonus tracks on these album, but both come with full English and Japanese lyric sheets. Both albums are 'mid priced' (about $13 each)

Talking Heads' 1983 album "Speaking in Tongues" will be re-released on 180 grams vinyl in the U.K. on May 13rd. The vinyl contains the original lp versions of the songs. Back in 1983, the cassette version of "Speaking in Tongues" contained longer versions of five tracks. These extended versions of 'Making Flippy Floppy', 'Girlfriend is Better', 'Slippery People', 'I Get Wild/Wild Gravity' and 'Moon Rocks' were used on most of the cd releases that came later (including the 'Brick' edition).
These days, the longer versions are the standard known versions of these tracks, which makes this new vinyl rerelease interesting for both fans and completists.
