The Boarding House set is being grabbed asap........ Lovely. The No Talking Just Head album is a mixed bag. Papersnow with Andy Partridge is great. Along with Indie Hair, it's probably the best track on the album... There are a lot of Tom Tom Club-style grooves, but some of the tracks go nowhere. The track with Michael Hutchence & No More Lonely Nights are horrible. Thanks. The Boarding House set is being grabbed asap…….. Lovely.

I would have prferred they had broken up after their midlife crisis. I am particularly fond of "The Red & The Black," which I find superior to all subsequent TH releases and in fact a valid followup to "Remain In Light." Also the 2nd Tom Tom Club album is THE ONE for me. I have shied away from all solo Byrne material but would give "The Catherine Wheel" a good shot under the right conditions. But I've never been strongly motivated to check this out. Maybe it's worth putting on my La La want list. I enjoy the solo heads albums after 1980 a lot more than the straight Talking Heads material.

Shame it didn´t get much good press at the time. Stay alive Robert Really liked the Heads album - Gordon Gano, Johnette Napolitano, Ed K from Live, lots of good tunes.
