Back in 1984 a TALKING HEADS concert film STOP MAKING SENSE
attracted a mass of fans to the cinema theatres to see it.

Directed by Jonathan Demme, it was shot over the course of three nights
at Hollywood’s Pantages Theater in December 1983. It was/is a sonic and
visual spectacle with TH on top of their game. Many remember it too for
David Byrne wearing that too-big suit and his manic dancing.

The movie returns to theaters later this year
with a new 4K restoration courtesy of A24.

Here’s the trailer.

In addition to the film’s restoration and rerelease, Stop Making Sense’s 1984
soundtrack will be reissued in unabridged, 2-LP form for the first time on
August 18.

Original live album.
