Talkingheads - Sand In The Vaseline - Popular Favourites 1976-1992 mp3 flac download

Sand In the Vaseline – two tape collection of Talking Heads Popular Favourites 1976-1992, David Byrne and Brian Eno's "My Life In the Bush of Ghosts", Talking Heads live album Stop Making Sense and David Byrnes "Music for the Knee Plays". Posted on November 9, 2018 November 9, 2018

It contains two previously unreleased demo recordings ("Sugar on My Tongue," "I Want to Live"), a non-album a-side ("Love → Building on Fire") and b-side ("I Wish You Wouldn't Say That") and three newly finished songs ("Gangster of Love," "Lifetime Piling Up" and "Popsicle")

Personally I find that it fails at both of these objectives since I never enjoyed some of the later albums and see therefore no point of taking an even amount of tracks from those releases, considering that they weren't as successful as say Remain In Light.

Talking Heads chronology. Once in a Lifetime (2003). The Best of Talking Heads (2004). These non-album tracks had all been included on the 1992 compilation Sand in the Vaseline, though three non-album tracks (1975 studio demo "I Want to Live" and 1992's "Gangster of Love" and "Popsicle") remain exclusive to that compilation, in terms of CD releases. Remastered versions of these three tracks were later issued on the download-only release Bonus Rarities and Outtakes in 2006.

Popular favourites' is the sub-title to this double compilation album of one of New York's finest. 33 foot tapping songs later and you want to replay it. It contains all the usual favourites, almost a studio version of the immacualte Live - The Name of this band is Talking Heads. The early tracks see Byrne's uncomfortable often wavy vocals sit above a neat and tidy simplistic rythym in the classical mould. The latter day songs show a great deal of maturity and comfort in the way they are put across with Byrne sounding more comfortable with his uncomfortableness. The band playing well within their capabilities. If you are not aware of anything by them other than 'Psycho Killer' then this is a great album to get hold of and get into.
