Talking Heads, Naked, 1988 on Fly/Sire
Eighth and final studio LP from Talking Heads – talk about going out with a bang! What a great record.
They apologized in the liner notes to Minneapolis band The Wallets, who had a popular song called “Totally Nude” that came out in 1986. As a teenager in a Minneapolis that sometimes felt rather provincial and unknown, that seemed like a major acknowledgement to me.
Love where this album sits in the David Byrne discography as well – wrapping up Talking Heads with some significant world music influence while Rei Momo would follow the following year.
Still love every track on this LP whenever I put it on. It may have become my favorite Talking Heads record, though that’s a tough call.
My copy, via A1 Records in NYC, is a 1988 Speciality Records pressing in a Unipack-style gateway sleeve and the Fly Records logo on the label.
