AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An excellent 6-LP collection centred around Talking Heads and the groundbreaking creative partnership between David Byrne and Brian Eno, covering one of the most influential periods of late-1970s and early-1980s New Wave, Art Rock and Post-Punk.
The collection includes five Talking Heads albums, together with Brian Eno & David Byrne's landmark experimental album My Life in the Bush of Ghosts.
Particularly interesting is the variety of European pressings from Portugal, Germany and Italy, including contemporary pressings from the original release years as well as two Italian Sire “Best Buy Series” editions.
Several of the records retain their original printed inner sleeves and/or inserts, as shown in the photographs.

The records will be carefully and professionally packed, with the vinyl protected separately from the outer sleeves where appropriate, to ensure safe transport.
A strong collector's lot containing six essential Art Rock / New Wave / Post-Punk LPs from one of the most innovative periods in modern popular music.
