Witness the birth of one of rock's most innovative bands with Tentative Decisions: Demos & Live, a Record Store Day Black Friday 2025 exclusive that captures Talking Heads in their raw, formative years from 1974-1976. These previously unreleased recordings document the trio's evolution from their earliest experiments to the sophisticated art-rock pioneers who would soon revolutionize the music world.
This rare collection features early demos of future classics like "Psycho Killer" and "Warning Sign," offering fans a fascinating glimpse into the band's creative process before their legendary 1977 debut. The package includes both the tentative early recordings from 1975 and the more polished 1976 sessions that clearly point toward their breakthrough sound, plus a live recording from Manhattan's Lower Manhattan Ocean Club that captures their electric stage presence.
