Talking Heads were an American rock band formed in 1975 in New York City and disbanded in 1991. The band consisted of David Byrne (lead vocals, guitar), Chris Frantz (drums), Tina Weymouth (bass), and Jerry Harrison (keyboards, guitar). They released eight albums, along with several highly acclaimed live albums.

Known for their innovative sound and eclectic style, Talking Heads blended elements of new wave, post-punk, art punk, pop rock, art pop, funk rock, ethno and disco genres. Their music pushed boundaries and challenged conventions while maintaining a catchy and accessible appeal.

In recognition of their significant contributions to the music industry, Talking Heads were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame as performers in 2002. Their unique blend of genres continues to inspire musicians and captivate audiences around the world.

Reissues

Rhino Records, also known as Rhino, is a renowned music label that was established in 1973 by Richard Foos. Starting as a record store in Westwood California, Rhino quickly gained recognition with its first successful release "Go To Rhino Records" by Wild Man Fischer in 1975. The label's early logo featured "Rocky the Rhino" and focused on novelty, surf, local new wave bands, and reissues of out-of-print records from other labels.

Under the guidance of Bill Inglot for production, Ken Perry for mastering, and A&R team Gary Stewart and James Austin, Rhino expanded its catalog to include a wide range of reissues by the mid-1980s. The label underwent a logo redesign during this time period to simply "Rhino". In 1984, Rhino released its first CD and became known for manufacturing high-quality CDs made by Sanyo (1984-85) and various manufacturers from Japan or Switzerland thereafter.

In 1985, Rhino entered into a distribution deal with Capitol Records which lasted until 1992. This partnership allowed access to Capitol's back catalog and led to the release of reissues of old Capitol albums. Additionally, EMI and Rhino acquired the Roulette family of labels in 1989. As their deal with Capitol came to an end in 1992, Time-Warner offered an opportunity for growth. Half of the label was sold to Time-Warner

Rocktober Reissues

Featuring songs written for David Byrne's film of the same name, True Stories from 1986 is even more pop-oriented than Little Creatures, full of simple, catchy melodies and guitar hooks. True Stories is not the soundtrack to David Byrne's movie of the same name. Rather, this album contains Talking Heads' versions of songs from the film. In the movie, most songs are sung by the actors, and some of their version plus other additional music from the movie is available on the official soundtrack for True Stories.
